S400 CDI
Problem with airmatic

Hello guys,

I am new to this forum so don`t judge just tell if there is something i need to know.
So, let`s begin.
I have a w220 S400 (193000 km) MB.
Problem is that after one day in the parking lot the front part is lowering.
So i have a problem with airmatic. The thing is i don`t know what can it be because i checked the pump in the back the 2 struts in front and i don t know where to begin. Can you give me a hint please?
All the symptoms that i googled aren`t like mine. The past winter it took 3-4 day for the car to lower as now.

Tank you so much guys. I hope you would understand.

S, GL, Escalade ESV, my shoes
Look like you have a leak in the front strut. With the W220, the front caps need to be replaced. Should be pretty cheap job (you don't need to replace the entire strut, just the cap)

S400 CDI
Hello and thank you for advice.
I have a question. It should be left and right struts?
IF there is left and right struts it should lower unequal?
My front side is at the same level.
