Default 2005 gx 470 rear suspension leak down

My left rear suspension will leak down to bumpstops unless I turn off auto suspension leveler. I can set suspension at high level turn off and it will stay that way i had set that way for 2 weeks and no leak but if I turn on leveler it may stay or it may leak down usually just left side somebody had said that my air bags were leaking so I tested it out all last month and find it hard to believe the bags are leaking if it will stay inflated a week or 2. But I could be wrong Anybody got any clues ?? Thankyou

Sometimes there's a pinhole in the airbag that is in the area that folds up under the cone. So when it sits, if it's in that area the pinhole gets compressed and doesn't leak.

They can be tricky to find - get a bucket of water with some "Mr Bubble" added and soak the area, then use the height adjuster to see if you can spot a leak.
