Air suspension

Afternoon folks, I have a 2002 s500 (w220) and i really don't drive it a lot, I have a few other cars I drive daily. I noticed the front is lowering. Would that be from sitting and not driving it for such a long time. Or should I be worried that I have a leak. It has been sitting for about the entire year only driven may be 6 times the whole year. I plan on starting it up to see if it levels out. What do you think?

It is virtually impossible to have an Airmatic suspension system that is 100% leak-proof - and yours will not be an exception...

If it doesn't sink noticeably in a month, that is amazing. If it lasts two weeks, that's pretty darn good. If it sinks a little in a week, drive it and enjoy it.

Thanks I took a long time for me to even notice it so it sank very slowly.
