Rear of vehicle lowers after 12+- hours

Ive noticed my car lowering its *** end after about 12 hours, before it was longer maybe 48 hours. I attribute the acceleration of the decent to the colder temps. Wherever this leak is the material must be shrinking more then under normal (warm) temperatures and causing it lower faster. I don't think its a bag because both sides lower equally, and from what Ive seen/read generally when its a bad bag it lowers itself on one side. The car comes right up once I open the door and drives fine.
My question to you guys is whether you know of any problematic areas that I should be looking in first? I don't want to put this off and for anything more serious so happen and be stranded somewhere. Any advice would be useful.

E55
Spray some soapy water on both bags sometimes a weak bag makes both sides go down also look for a metal bulb looking part that also can be the culprit since it is like a reservoir for air for the bags
