Leaking Suspension Airbag...
I seem to have a slow leak on my 2004 4.2, Driver's side suspension airbag.
Only happens when car sits for an extended period of time, or overnight. The car is leaning to one side, a difference of about 2 inches from Driver's side to passenger side.
As soon as the car is opened or engine is started, the compressor kicks in and fills it to the right level. Also the suspension light comes on while filling it, but only takes about 10-20 sec.
Leak right?

Yes and best to repair/replace before the compressor works too hard and gives out as they
are even more expensive to repair. Also best to do it when it is convenient to you and not like one of mine did when it went all the way down and wouldn't come up on the highway in the rain (at least it wasn't yet dark
Good luck.
Good luck.

Re: Sounds like it. How many miles on your '04?
I just bought the car in August 2007, with 28000 miles.
Since then I am now at 46000, I drive a lot...
But it is still under warranty. So I will bring to a dealer here in Los Angeles.
