Need some air suspension help, again.

Sup boyz, been a while. Life keeps one busy.

I have a new problem. My car was parked for a few days. I saw it every day, but did not drive it, or even open the doors.

I was working in the garage, and heard a crazy hiss. Like hsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss , and saw my rear end slam to the floor. I was like, WTF mate. Open the trunk, the compressor kicked in, and car normal. Like 30 min later, hsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssss, and it is on the floor again.

I said whatever. Probably just the spring is done, and needs a new one. I am at 90K now. But today, I get to the car, and both pass side springs are flat. The car looks funny as hell tilted like that.

I suspect something is making the pass side deflate on purpose, but stay normal when being used. Like a switch, or a sensor not functioning. Or maybe it is a leak, and somehow deflates the front too.

Scanned it with INPA, no error codes. Need some help understanding what to look for. maybe sensors, wires. Is it even that? Maybe the pump is too quiet and I don't hear it run, then car goes to sleep, and boom, slammed. Why does the front slam the next day? Is the car leveling itself and deflating the front? Thanks in advance.
