Weird airmatic question

Hey guys and gals, I have sort of a weird issue with my airmatic. It seems like the entire rear of the car is squatting all the way down when let sit overnight, since both sides are doing it, I was wondering if I should check the air shocks or valve block. Once I start it, the car pumps up and drives/handles normally, and it only squats like that if parked on an incline.

If it's only doing it while parked on an incline it may have something to do with the level sensors for the car.

When I park in my g/f's driveway, which is slightly uphill, the front of the car drops some and the rear raises a bit to keep it even. It doesn't drop all the way down though.

Hmm, I'll hook it up to STAR and see if there is any weirdness then.

Pretty sure the left rear bag is borked. Oh well, time for new rear bags I guess.

Bags are going bad or there is a small leak.
Nothing to do with the level sensor in the back.
