compressor is making a funny noise
Hi, had some troubles with my airmatic leaking from the front struts. Had it raplaced but still has slow leak. I have noticed now that the compressor is making a weird noise. Sounds like its almost dead. I raise the car by using the switch on the dash just to get it to the shop. Does any one know if the compressor can be heavly modified to with stand the leak that I have?
Im still confused where the air is leaking from. Have no idea!

I have taken it to the mb shop, and they had told me that it is the top caps that were leaking. I replaced it and still no change!
NOW WHAT!
