The leak causes the pump to work OT, so if you don't replace the bag you will shorten the pump's life (and it costs a few hundred $$). Consensus is that they don't need to be replaced in pairs, one side is fine.

For the "spring shock" question, search more using the word "coilover".

Are you sure it's the actual bag? Maybe loose connection on air line or.....?

And do both sides at once. I didn't fix mine in time, and did what you are suggesting, then I had to buy a new compressor (from arnott also) as well.
