Default Suspension problem (yes, sorry): no leaks, compressor running constantly

I've searched the board far and wide, and seem to come up with a variety of opinions on the issue, primarily linked to a weakening compressor. My car does not lose height at all overnight (or over several days). I have left it on levels 1,2, and 3, and the same is true. Yet, the compressor has within the last week started running about every 4 minutes for <30 seconds when I drive. Possible causes? Weak compressor? Is there some sort of a pressure sensor that is faulty? Valve block that for some reason leaks when car is on? Thoughts?

Default Just a WAG but maybe your reservoir is leaking. Or, just something post pump pre air spring.

That would explain a running pump and a non-saggy allroad.

Now fix her fast so you are only replacing an airspring and not the compressor too.
