Left side saging question

Came out this morning and the left front was extra low (402 on its own?). Started car and suspension warning was flashing and level uplight came on. After about 1 minute the lights went out and car was back to normal.

I used the suspension system the day before to go up one level then back down. Rarely use it otherwise.

Was this just normal adjustment or potential problem?

Car has 36k now.

Thanks as always

This was my symptom. And what lead to a spring repalcement.

due to a leak in the spring.
Park it in level 4 tonight see if it happens. Level three tomarrow, level two on Tuesday, and one on Wednesday. See what happens if it repeats.

It could just be a glitch or if it repeats a leak.

DITTO - You got a leak brother.

Prepare for spring replacement....and don't procrastinate because it can burn your compressor out wroking overtime to keep it level.

I think your air spring bag is leaking.

No doubt, but I also read somewhere that its kinda common for the adjustment light to...

come on when parked on anything besides 2 (specifically in cold weather), and is not something that needs attention right away. Still I plan on getting it checked out since it still under warranty, once I have some time.

Ever since I got past all my leaking bags and failed compressor 2 years ago,

I have never once seen that damn light come on again...regardless of the level of the suspension or the lay of the land upon which I was parked....but's that just me.
