How do you know if the air compressor on the air suspension is dead?

I have a supposed leak in my passenger side. Diagnosed in September....but car rides the same.
Compressor comes on from time to time.....worried about it burning out before I replace air struts

Going to be keeping up with your issue. My compressor runs occasionally also. Don't know how much is too much. Keep us informed.

I have also seen some brown oil type spots on the garage floor from the right front of the car....don't know if that's compressor oil (not sure where compressor actually is), or leakage from the strut. I do not think it is engine oil

I think those are usually leaks from the struts. Whichever one is leaking will need to be replaced. Go onto Sewell Lexus to find the cheapest price on a replacement. Someone was quoting 2k for the compressor but it's really $1300 with the ClubLexus discount. The struts are about $1000 with the discount.
