From what you've described, it sounds like a teckbook air suspension leak. Replacing the air spring(s) should fix your problem. BTW, the air bladders on those are only 2 mm thick. They will ALWAYS leak the worst when the car is driven and when its cold.

The dealer wants $200+ each for these, but you can get them aftermarket with a LIFETIME WARRANTY for approx. $80.
