I am stumped. Soaped up the bags and no leaks. If I changed out the bags this would be the second time they have been replaced. Once at 50000 miles an now at 83000 miles. Too much?
I am Beginning to think coilovers may be in the future.

Were you able to find an "offset" value for the ride height sensors? Are they all reporting normal values? I had one that was just bonkers (-200 something) and 3 that were fine. I replaced that one sensor (left front) and no change. Later, after ditching the air suspension, I was playing with INPA and found the offset counter. Reset it and voila all the sensors were reporting plausible values. And, as a side benefit my auto aim/level headlights began working again after not working for 2 years. Could be coincidence, but the way all these modules work together, I think this sensor reading had something to do with my front bags deflating. I have read mention of it in other past threads here as well.
Good luck, keep us all updated.
Edit: Here's a link to a good thread about ride height calibrations. Much of it pertains to lowering the stance via calculations but it will also tell you how to zero out the suspension again.
