2002 s430 airmatic

The dealer recently replaced 2 upper shock kits,a compressor,a relay and a fuse for low frt suspension.Now after 2 days the frt suspension has dropped so low that the frt tires hit the inner fender.It apperar that the rubber bellows attatching the right front shock lower portion has come loose and i have a massive air leak.I also noticed some silicone looking material on the ground .Would someone please advise me? Thank you very much. Ken

Sealing the upper portion of the air-strut is a good repair IF that is the only leak.
Many times IF the suspension is LOW the air "bladder" will be damage if the car is driven in a LOW ride position. Sounds like that might be your problem.
