New E55 owner with airmatic issues. Help Please!

Hi all,
Im Justin from Columbus Ohio.
I just picked up a 04 e55 with 55k on the clock about a month ago.
I love the car and it is an amazing machine. Coming from multiple LS powered vehicles and most recently a C5 Z06, these cars are amazing and a whole different beast. Unfortunately, I walked out side to the car the other morning and the right front is slammed down and I am getting the "stop vehicle too low" message. The corner lifts slightly when you turn the car on, but then it makes a pssshhh sound like an air leak and it drops back down. Also when the car has not been run for a couple days the right rear drops all the way down and tucks the rim up in the fenderwell. The right rear does go back up when the car is running though.
Any thoughts as to what to look for or how to begin diagnosing my problem?

Thank you all in advance.

The rear dropping after a few days is common. Mine has been doing that on and off for the 10 months I have owned it.

From what I have been searching, alot of people have the rear end sag after a couple days. Mine is all the way down though, and the right is down farther than the left. Not sure that is normal.

E55
your front has a major leak. the rear has a minor leak. common yes. normal no. time to replace the front struts and rear bags. the pump is going to burn out otherwise.
