GL450 left rear side sitting low

The car only sits low when I park it outside. When I park it in the garage it’s perfect. The right rear air spring was replaced in October 2022. I was assuming that the left rear is bad but I noticed that sometimes it stays perfectly fine even for 10 days outside, and sometimes it goes down overnight. Please advise.

It's bad. Go ahead and replace it before it causes your pump to go out. They are cheap and easy to replace so don't wait.

100% this. Takes 30 mins to do yourself. Don't pay MB dealers for the job, I think I was quoted $700 per corner a couple of years ago (including the part).
