W220 air suspension-down when cold but ok in last week or two-repair needed?

2001 S430. In temps less than 25 F my L rear shock was down over night several times. no code came up and the shock rose on starting. It is fine now.
Will it fail soon/should I fix it now? Or did it get water near a valve and freeze open and perhaps if the water gets out it will never recur?
thanks

air spring leak

my range rover does the same thing, it's small leaks in the air bags (springs) that seal themselves as the weather warms up.

so does it mean I should change them or does this not mean failure will occur soon?
