Suspension leak at Level 1
Trying to figure out what is leaking. A valve perhaps?
When on Level 1 and parked for several hours the suspension settles to the stops at all four corners. No leaks at other Levels.
When I start the car I get the yellow suspension light in the cluster and the Level 1 light flashes. Once the Level 1 light goes solid the yellow warning goes away.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Theories?

Most likely, it's airspring(s). When all 4 leak down it could be other, more trouble like a distribution block. Time to find a good tech. Try parking on L2 to see if it's different. If it is, that's most likely airsprings. Go Arnott.

Only leaks on Level 1. Techs are still looking into possible causes. I just cannot imagine all 4 bags going bad at once. And if it was the bags I would think it would leak on all levels.

On the bright side, we had this same problem for two years (or should I say we put off replacing front air spring) by just keeping it in position 2.
But it's good to have it back in level one.
