For the last week, I've noticed the compressor kicking in almost every time I start the car. Compressors in the back , lid closed and all - and I can hear it working. I've eyeballed the rear height and it looks fine before I start the car.
Maybe it's a slow leak....on the bags.

measure the ride height for sure, sometimes the compressors kicks on when I start my car but that is normal sometimes to level out the height.
if it is lowering somewhat overnight (I would say a few mm or more) then you may have leaking bags. get under the car, do you see any hairline cracks in the bags?
And to the above posters who said they replaced with OEM only, go to
www.arnottindustries.com they make high quality replacements for our airbags, I have used them in my front air struts and quality is superb. Many of the members on this forum have used Arnott for their front and rear replacements. For the rear air springs, they are $200 for the pair, and you should replace both if you are replacing one (the other isn't far behind if one is leaking now)
Only thing you have to figure out is if you have sports suspension or not, there are 2 different air bag part numbers for that.
