'84 300TD Rear Level Control

Hello All,

I used to feel the rear of the car lift up at startup, and sometimes added fluid because of a small leak in one of the shocks. Now the level stays the same..and I sense no movement. Perhaps it never or rarely pumps?

Recently, I had a couple hundred pounds in the back and the rear was obviously too low. I put the rear tires on ramps and noticed the control lever could be moved (with resistance) even without removing the link from the sway bar (perhaps a problem there). The rear pumps up and down, but the lever must be moved over an inch in either direction to get the movement.
In order to maintain the level it has to be more sensitive that that!

I looks like I need to dig into this...study the manuals..perhaps check the system pressure. I'd appreciate hearing suggestions.
Anybody had similar symptoms?
