As the airbags move around in their mounts, it is possible for a leak to come and go, so it doesnt do it all the time.

But you most likely need to replace the airbags. Pretty cheap, 30 minute job- easy. Search for DIYs and posts about it. US$150 for parts? as I recall

My guess...I dont have it on mine.

If your rear suspensions lowers itself overnight or after a few days parked, is likely that you have an air leak (in the Suspension Airbags). Mine experienced this issue, it was a relatively easy job and parts were not expensive.

It took a bit of finesse to the airbags back and there are a couple of steps you need to take to deflate them and to get it back up --search for the procedure--

I remember someone told me is better to replace the airbag as soon as you experience leaks as the compressor will need to work more and that is an expensive part to replace.
