    Strange leak over the weekend

    So wife and I take our 03 allroad to calgary for the weekend (>300km). The whole trip down it was pouring rain hard. (I avoided any large puddles if anyone is wondering) next morning got up to find the front passenger side sitting on the bump stop. Turned on the car and it was leveled off in a few seconds. Didn't drive it more than 50 km on Saturday before parking it again for the night. But come next morning it did the same thing. It had been raining all weekend so my idea was maybe some valve got wet or stuck and caused this but I have no real idea. Then since we've been back this week and the rain stopped it hasn't done it again. It might lose a bit but not enough for me to notice in the mornings. Any idea what it could be?

    I doubt its anything other than a leaking airbag. Long trips work the bag and this last trip probably did it in. Spray some soapy water on it and check for bubbles or try parking in Level 3. If it holds in Level 3, but not level 2 or 1 you have a bag leak.

    We'll I haven't had a chance yet to spray it down with soapy water yet but the problem has gone away. We have kept a very close eye on the suspension and all seems totally fine. It holds all levels great over night and while parked at work. No clue still as to why it would have done iton that trip.
