Default Left front level sensor - air suspension problem

Hello guys, i have a problem with my car air suspension on Audi A8, all corners rise fine except left front, it doesnt raise at all, errors i get is “front left lever sensor failure” and “Leak detected in the system”.

The front right lifts just fine.

Does that mean the sensor is issue or there is leak in front left strut?

It does sound like leaky strut but why your self leveling system is NOT working?
The level sensor error exists because the strut doesn't rise?
Put in lift mode then when it's done, put in jack mode. If the strut is still not up, while the lift mode is on and the pump is working, try to listen for air leaks, if no sound, then check the level sensor to see if it fell off the base or broken. Don't assume anything.
Cheers,
Louis
