Been looking at this today, I think the drivers front strut has a leak.

I've been away all weekend, and the car was as I left it. However when you start the car the compressor starts and does not stop until the orange light comes on.

I left it a while and then restarted the car, and put the car in dynamic mode, the car appeared level but compressor still running.

I moved the car to flatter ground with Jack mode enabled, when trying to get back to auto mode the rear comes up fine but the front will not rise.

Looking at these pictures I think the front drivers side is low, does it look like it's on the deck. Compared to passenger side.

The first picture is passenger side, second is drivers.
