You have a leaking air strut and bag. Try using the soapy water test to see which one is really leaking

So if one goes, all the other ones are coming soon thereafter.
Why it sometimes leaks and sometimes doesn't, well that's usually because the leak is somewhere up in the bag or strut and as it folds over it either opens or closes the leak; which may explain why you sometimes do and don't have an apparent leak.
But do try the soapy water test to see which one and where it is leaking.
