Car won't raise up. Pretty much sitting on the ground. Can't find a leak anywhere, have the bath seats off, the trunk apart, car jacked up, front bumper off, I literally checked all of the lines.
The code is leak in the system, when I do the pneumatic test, the compressor doesn't get anywhere near the required pressure.
But, from what I have read, it says that if the compressor turns on, it's usually okay?

Might be your compressor. Just because it turns on means nothing. The compressor has internal valves that are opened/closed depending on the information sensors are receiving. History of the car? I highly doubt all 4 air bags took a crap, but who knows?
Honestly I would start by checking air lines AFTER the compressor to the valve block.

Okay awesome, thank you. Yes I have checked everything, sprayed everything with soapy water while running multiple tests with SDS. I even took parts of the compressor apart, everything still looks brand new!
I will get a compressor and hopefully this solves my issue.
One weird thing to note though, I was able to slowly get three corners of my car to raise, except for the left front, the pressure went up (monitoring via STAR) but it did not raise, or at least not enough for me to notice.
But this would have to be a separate issue since the valve is working on the strut, so the system should still build up pressure during the test, even if I did have a leaky strut (which I had no symptons of whatsoever beforehand).

You might have a very weak pump, it naturally happens. I have a spare pump in my garage if you'd like to buy/test.

thanks, that's what I figured at this point.
