Unhappy Passenger Side Strut Issues

Hello I Have a 2002 S430. The Issue I'm Having is the Front Passenger Strut doesn't raise fully. After a couple of days of just sitting in the garage the car will be low 2 ground sitting on tires once the car is started the compressor kicks on and the car starts to rise and the corners rise fully except the front passenger side it starts to rise and once the fender gets about level with the tire that side starts 2 make an air hissing sound and that side fails to continue rising while the other tires continue to. The hiss only last for about 2 or 3 seconds then goes away. I've had a new pump put on about 8 months ago ran fine until bout 4 months ago. the car has been parked every since. can someone please give me a solution to this problem. (or at least an Idea I really would love 2 drive my car again.....THANKS!!

Oh, the car also previously had the strut repair kits re-done on both front struts and there are no leaks from the top of the struts. I was thinking air leak but the compressor shuts off once the car rises. I would think if i hav an air leak the pump would continue to cycle to compensate for the leak but it doesn't. Again Thanks In Advance!
