Airmatic has a small leak or a lack of use.

Cars from an accident can have a leak any place in the airmatic lines. How would you know ?

The air pumps do leak on older cars. Easy replacement.

have no idea how much it would cost but you should be able to detect any leaks present. It may be like that also becuase it has been sitting for a very long time without the pump being activated.
