Suspension Sagged - occasionally

Afternoon Guys n Girls,

Came out to my X5 this morning to find the rear end a couple of inches lower than normal...
Started the beast & it immediately pumped it up level again...

This is a ONE-OFF, as it did it ONCE one morning about 5 months ago.... then again this morning only...
I'm presuming its not an air-bag failure, or it would do it every day I come to the car...
So,
Is there a valve that may be worth peeking at, or is it worth popping some silicone lubricant into the air ways some where to help the valves seat properly ?

Thoughts ?

Regards to all.
Grant B

Do you ever hear your compressor working when the car is off?

Never heard it run at all - engine running or not, but it does work.

It does this on mine every now and again. It isn't a problem that I would worry about. I have had my 2 front Airbags replaced and trust me when they go.. they go.. and you know about it.

It could be down to temperature, or a slight electrical glitch that tells the system the car is at the wrong height. Nothing major.
