WHEN PARKED, REAR LOWERED.

Noob question: When i parked for a while, the rear lowers. Strut Air leakage or this is normal? And when start, went back to normal height.

Not normal. You have a leak.

Not that the SBC back up battery wouldn't fix this.

I would start with the soapy water in spray bottle.

I had the soapy water test done at 2 different indies, couldn't find a thing. Sometimes the drop would happen over night, sometimes it would take a week, sometimes not at all.

I changed the aux because it had never been changed and was causing issues such as low conv. Function, weak start and the car to die within a week of sitting.

Ever since, no drop. Not saying I don't have a slow leak somewhere but for the time being it the problem has not returned.

Ps: aux is situated under the hood, passenger side.

not too worried about my slow leak..as long as it raises I am ok with it... i'll wait for a full failure before i replace it. mine takes about a week of sitting to really notice it has gone down.

Thank you so much guys for the help. Appreciated. I'll start with the soapy water(easiest), then i'll do the Aux battery.
