W220 rear driver side sits about an inch lower at all times
Could it be a leak in one of the hose? Or the entire strut? Rear driver side suspension sits about an inch while I am driving and and also after car has been parked for a while. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Using SDS allows you to adjust the ride height of each strut individually - even though the rear has only one central ride height sensor (on the anti-sway bar). The SDS adjustment is different...

If there was a significant leak in the strut or its airline, it would drop all the way overnight.
If there was a small leak, the pump would bring the car to a level position while driving.
This sounds to me as if the strut and the rest of the pneumatic parts of the system work, and the computer is holding the strut at the wrong level.
