Default Back Suspension Leak

Hi Guys, I have a 03 gx 470 which has developed very harsh bumpy ride over the past week or so. I notice when i start the car the pump comes on and i hear a small leak (hissing noise) from the rear passenger side. I jacked up the car and saw the airbag system completely detached from the diff. I pulled it down by hand and put it into to the notch.

Can someone guide me as to getting replacement parts and where i should look? common fix for this issue?

Also i saw the strut conversion thing on youtube:

This would be my last resort if the air ride system fix it too costly. I would like to keep the factory setup, so i can use the controls on the inside.

This is super-common on GXs with some age on them. Search for "rear airbag" - lots of posts on what your options are.
