I had this and had no leaks. I never found out for sure what the problem was but I think it was the air valve that diverts air to left and right bags. It sits under
the off side front corner.
I have now scrapped the vehicle and I have the rear valve if you want it for a few ££. It looks exactly the same.

I'll see if I can do any test on it before sending, see if I can determine which was faulty.

There are 3 control valves on the D3. There's a primary control valve, which controls the air going from front to back, then a pair of cross control valves (one at the front, one at the back), controlling the air across the front and rear. These valves are known to clog up with crap, which has got in to the air supply from the pump.
