Allroad 2003 Overnight the suspension sinks.

I recently purchase a well loved 2003 allroad twin turbo 2.7 with just on 200,000 kilometres on the clock, In my 40 years of driving I have not had a car I have enjoyed more. The car has been serviced by Audi dealer for all it's life. The car runs magnificient and I reckon it would still meet the original specs for get up and go.
The issue I have is the drivers side front corner sags overnight if I leave it on normal cruise hieght (level 2) If I pump it up to the level 3 setting and park the car it stays at that hieght.
Can some one give me advice on what would be needed to fix the problem, is there any technical manuals I can reference and is it replacement suspension or can I replace a series of seals in the suspension components.

I had the exact same issue with an '04, the Audi strut is way over priced at around $750, the is a company out of Flordia that has redesigned the strut and offers a lifetime warranty, I replaced both front struts for $650 in parts. I believe the name is Arnott. I live in Colorado at 10000' so mine went out at around 68K miles

    if you raise the vehicle up in the air so the tyre is off of the ground you can see the air line usually green or red tha line goes into the strut where it goes in there is probably corrosion all around the fitting spray this with a soapy solution this will let you know if it is leaking at the line if it doesnt leak at the line i suspect a bad air strut

Hi i have a 2003 audi allroad , the suspension in front side is going to low when i stopped for long time , and sometime when i put it into level 3 ,it goes back to level 2 if whem the car is in moviment....

This is a common problem.
Firstly the sinking of a side when the car is left for a while is indicative of a leak in the air bladder on the suspension, it has to be replaced as a unit, not particularly difficult but AUDI prices are high, try Arnotts industries in US, they have a remanufactured unit which is superb. Secondly the suspension system is designed to lowere the suspension from the high ( 3) setting when car is driven for anylenght of time above an average speed ( I think 50 ish MPH on lev3) when the vehicle has been driven for a period under the average to trigger the drop to lev 2 then the suspension should rise again to lev 3. hope this helps
