2013 GL550 Air Suspension Leak?

I have the 2013 GL550 X166 84,500miles
It has the self leveling Suspension

*It also has a Dial in the Console that you can Turn to adjust Height manually, or for different conditions.
- I have not seen it ( the Dial) on ALL GL550 so I assume its an Option/Upgrade.?

This morning, about an hour after my wife returned from an errand , I notice the Car LEFT REAR was sagging , low or no Air in the bag?

I started car to let it charge up. It leveled quickly.


Not problem since...been 2-3 Hours
I also made the Car go all the way up and down, turning the Motor off each level to listen for leaks.
I heard no air or leak sound.

Fluke? or do I have a problem coming on?

I have seen this on an older E500 2004-5..?

thanks for input
Larry

Mine did the same thing, let it sit a few days and you will know. The rear air bag from Arnott worked great got mine from rockauto.com very easy to put in just make sure when you push in the air line you pull out a bit until you feel it grab.
