Just sold my '11 Porsche TurboS cab for an '03 SL55!
Suspension Droop '03 SL55AMG

My right side has been drooping quite quickly (<24 hrs) and while it appears to be the RR, I've installed a new Rear OEM valve block and there are no external leaks. But I also see the RF drooping and wonder if the RF is laoding the RR making it appear to be the problem. It has newish frt struts, but the rears are original to this 78k mile car. The rest of the system has been refreshed also. No warning lights etc. and it works perfectly on the road.

Thanks in advance.

I cannot help with the diagnosis BUT mine (2004 SL55) drooped (LR) in about 24-48 hours for almost 4 years and functioned perfectly whenever I started/drove it. It finally started not "pumping up" and I went with coil-overs/sway bars.
