It is common for the air shock suspension to have a lean at the air shock itself, to confirm the leakage you can use a spray bottle of soapy water and spray it around the sock to see if there are bubbles confirming the failure, here are diagrams of the system and how to change the air shock out and depressurize the system. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

That is hard to say, it depends on how fast the leak is and if the front end is too low? Also, the compressor might time out and shut off FYI.
