Air suspension ride height

Air suspension ride height
Came out of the store tonite with my 1999 Expedition running and noticed that it seemed to lean to the right. Threw a tape measure on it at home with engine/compressor running and sure enough, 4 different ride heights on all 4 corners. Truck is stock with factory air suspension. Anyone else have this issue and can you point me in the right direction to correct. I am suspecting a blocked or leaking airline "BUT" my compressor does not run all the time, (as in a leaking line) and the heights are all the same when truck is off and lines have bled down. Not sure what to do.

Thanks for the info. Would you or anyone else happen to have a pic of what the sensor looks like and where it is located?

OK....I got under and took a look. Found the sensors. One on the rear axle just to the left of the diff. One behind left front tire to rear of upper control arm. Now I am even more confused....how is it that my right side is lower in all modes. Approx 2" lower. System fills up and all four corners rise in drive, park and 4low, with 4low being the highest. BUT*****right side still lower. How does only one ride hiehht sensor control one side or the other. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
thanks
