Chris_731 is on a distinguished road
I am still under the original warranty, due to my car originally being a demo (which I didn't know until I took it in for the leaking air bag issue) and demo's get an additional 6 months factory warranty tacked on when sold. (didn't know this either!) I have no idea how different the CPO is from the original warranty, but it sounds like a lot of stuff is not covered on the CPO.

Anyway, there were no issues with replacing the front bag/strut. The SA just said, 'Yeah, no problem'.
It's one in the same part, so if struts are not covered but springs/air springs are, then it could be tricky. The air spring and the shock/strut are separate on the rear, but one single part on the front. Sometimes shocks are not covered, but struts are. Either way the spring/air spring should be covered I would think, so I would argue that point.

I bought my car at Carmax and bought their extended warranty. I called their warranty company and they said the leaking air bag would probably be covered (not explicitly listed as 'not covered') so I think even the Carmax warranty would cover the leaking air bag as well.
