I would be happy to help you find out what is causing the driver side Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air helper spring to deflate while the passenger side spring does not.
You are on the right track by using the soapy water mixture to find where the leak is coming from. You will need to keep checking the hose from the helper spring all the way to the dual gauges until you find the leaking area.
Also check anywhere that the air line may have been pinched by the suspension, or anywhere that heat could have damaged the line.
It will be a bit of work but be thorough and spray all of the connections and any places the air line could be damaged. You will want to make sure the system is aired up to 65-70 PSI while doing this leak test.
If the air line is damaged you need some more air line, just let me know the diameter of the air line your compressor uses and I would be happy to recommend a replacement.
