Default Front Suspension Air Bag Issue

While inspecting and looking for a minor air leak. I noticed the air bags on the drivers side front looking unusually different than the passenger side.(pictures below). I think this is where or the air leak is. Has anyone ever seen airbags look like these? I will be removing to inspect further and checking if they were installed correctly.

The first image is the passenger side air bags. The next two images are the drivers side bags.

The jacks are down with jack stands under coach sitting level, side to side....The drivers side bags look like the air is sucked out of them.

Raise the leveling jacks. Remove all cribbing. Dump the suspension and inflate. Should air those bags up.

I agree, that's what it looks like to me. Unless you see a gaping hole, it is pretty hard to find a leak in the bags unless they are inflated. If you suspect it is the bags that are leaking, air them up and spritz them with a soapy solution of water and dish soap. You will see the bubbles where the leaks are.

Check your part #. Has one side been replaced with different bags?

Problem fixed, air line fittings at the top of each drivers side airbag leaking. Tightened up charged system with air and no leaks. I guess that side leaking down was exhausting all the air out of the bags and making them look deflated and not looking like the passenger side.
