Default New Owner Air Suspension Questions

Hello all,

I have recently acquired a 2005 A8 4.2TDI. As a new vehicle I have many things to learn but I have a few questions that despite hours of reading old threads I cannot seem to find.

I have noticed that there seems to be pressure release from the front left of the vehicle every few minutes whilst driving. Is this normal or is my compressor running overtime?

Also whilst changing the settings on the MMI I have noticed that when selecting dynamic a green light appears on the dash with a downward arrow. Should I see an amber light when the car is being raised to comfort or lift levels?

I will be getting the car scanned on Monday and I will order a new fuse and relay ASAP as a precautionary measure to prevent the system from overworking.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
