confirm front air strut leak?

How do I confirm its my strut and not something else? front left deflates in 30 seconds or so. The hiss seems to come from the front left. I put soapy water on the air line on top, and all the lines by the compressor the block etc. I also put soapy water on the bellows on the strut body etc. I was hoping for some bubbles from somewhere?

60k mile 2006 e55.

any word on the $325 new or rebuilt no name struts on ebay? rebadged arnotts? ok I guess those are for the regular e class and not amg models.

Purchase the Arnotts. In pairs. Then recalibrate your suspension. Details are on this forum.
