Another Air Suspension Question?

Hi everyone. I have been searching for an illusive air suspension issue with my '05 EB EXPY 4x4. 142K miles.

Recently replaced the front suspension passenger air bag due to cracking and the "not inflating when cold issue" that is referenced in other posts. This truck is used for family trips and not used daily and is garaged until needed.

When the truck sits, the front passenger side air bag drops, and is still slow to inflate compared to the other 3. So last time when I parked it, all bags were full and level, and I switched the suspension off to see if the bag will hold, which it did for 4 days. After that with the system still off, the front passenger corner slowly began to drop, while the other 3 remained at the same height. Now over a week later the other 3 corners are up and level, and front fight corner is down.

Is this an issue with the lines to the air bags? Or height sensor? I haven't been able find another post yet that asks about where to start for this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It's a leaking issue with the O-ring on the pressure release solenoid.
