My best guess is that since it dropped on one side only and I don't have any warning lights,....that most likely it is the shock itself that is leaking and not a sensor or improperly positioned linkage that I have read about here,.....as those cases always seem to have BOTH SIDES dropping.

Am I correct on my thinking on that,.....since its one side only?? How do I pinpoint the leak location? Do I spray soapy water on the shock and elsewhere,.....or, do I just listen for a hissing sound??

I have had a number of self leveling BMW and Mercedes cars over the years,.....always problematic,....honestly, I don't know why manufacturers continue to use them.
