Air leak

Have you checked the Strut itself? Could you hear the air escaping from the valve block? Did you check the level sensor arm at the wheel? They sometimes get frozen rusted then bend. I am having a similar problem with my suspension. How did you access the valve block to remove it?

valve block is located behind the compressor for me it was easy because i removed the front bumper once the front bumper is off it's easy to see everything.i know when you remove the front bumper is too much work. actually the exact location is behind the side marker actually to check the valve block you have to spray it with soapy water
