Default Rear drops evenly when in Jack Mode

I'm trying to diagnose a rear end leak without just throwing parts at it. The rear drops evenly over a period of days if left parked. Last time I put her into Jack Mode in an effort to see if one or the other rear sides would drop. They both dropped evenly. Are the rear bags connected even when in Jack Mode? or should I be looking elsewhere?

Thanks

I don't think they are connected while in Jack Mode but I'm not entirely sure. I know when one of my front bags leaked the other side dropped at the same rate even though it was fine.

I would start by checking each rear bag for leaks by pulling off that wheel and jacking up that corner to different levels. Spray the bag and fittings to see if you get any bubbles. Do both sides just to be sure they both aren't leaking.

If they both look to be all right then I would look to the valve block for possible issues like a stuck valve.

Jack mode do not help you to find issue.
Remove fuse 17 in a left side of instrument panel and see who is responding of leakage.
