First try the soapy water solution to check fore any leaks , first at the compreeor/drier then at the springs .

Might be a bad solenoid.

The soapy water on the bags and vent solenoids will show if there's an air leak. I there's an electrical problem, do the Air Suspension Diagnostics:

It could also be something as simple as a loose hose on that side going into the bag/solenoid or at the top of the drier. There are small o-rings under the orange grommets that can dry out and shrink up. If the other three corners are going up, I'm betting it isn't a compressor problem.
