Rear suspension dropped on return from holiday!!

Happy New Year All
Just returned home from a 2 week holiday and noticed my car had dropped 3 or 4 inches at the rear, started it and set the car back to drive height, turned it round and parked it up, all looks fine again.
had the L322 a couple of weeks and had the compressor replaced under warranty by my local garage just before my holiday, didn't notice it dropping before my holiday but then I have not left it for 2 weeks since I have really only owned it just over a month?

Could replacing the compressor cause the rear to drop? or maybe has been sold to me with a slow air leak?

Start looking for leaks in all heights , continuously running the compressor because you have a leak somewhere will quickly knacker it . 2008 MY Supercharged

Would there be a hissing sound?
If it is seeking, its about an inch a week, not detectable if the car is used daily??
