Put the car off !! Unscrew the line , the bag should be soft if its leaking , if not make sure you put it on the level its leaking and wait until the air leaks out. Put half a bottle of slime in there, play around with the bag with your hands and screw the line back inn. Should work !

I was very excited about this method 2 years ago. The slime will eventually fail, and when it does, it will likely be at a time not of your choosing.
After trying the two methods of application with only temporary success, I now cannot endorse this method as a "fix". It buys time, sure, and will fix a pinhole leak. It will not cure the leak, which, over time, will get larger and cause more issues.
Hope this helps,
Bob

I was needing a short term solution until I can replace the unit. I added Slime to the airbag and it worked - 3 weeks and holding. I am amazed but do plant to replace.

Can you please post the photos you mentioned- I plan on tackling the "slime repair" this weekend BEFORE my pump goes out..... ALSO,Just wondering; your original post was back in June/July, how is your air suspension repair holding up?

I heard that rumor about multiple bags. From what I saw, it's completely untrue. There's a single bladder that rolls up the cylinder. So, if the leak is high on the bladder, that part is tucked underneath on lower levels, preventing it from leaking. As the bladder is filled it unrolls, forcing the car upwards and exposing the bladder's rolled edge in one of four predetermined locations.
