D3 suspension rises after standing for week

Hi there,

My d3 s8 has been standing for a week. The suspension ride height looked very low. When I opened the door, it hissed and the car rose by at least 15cm before getting in and starting. Is this normal or sign of a leak in the air system?

After normal drive, no further droop and no hissing.

Thanks for any advice, experience or suggestions. I have vcds but not sure how to test compressor.

Thanks

Richardracer
