W219 Air Release

[keimonen]

This might be a little off topic. I can hear air coming out of my X218 after I park the car. Is this normal? I also noticed the rear end dropped a little after not riding for a day or two, so I suspected there was a small leak somewhere. Used soap and water to look for leaks in the compressor area but found nothing.

Are there any common places to check for leaks? The bags are new.

It is normal for air to escape after the car is closed. It also lowers a little after that. Lowering the rear after a few days is also not a big problem, especially in cold weather. If there is a leak, try cleaning the air intake connection with soap and water. Usually there is a leak here. In the photo you can see the leak after spraying water and soap.
