Hope you find it useful.

this test indicates that the front passenger side strut is leaking, and needs to be resealed, probably with the existing fix kit from Merz Part #2203202538. This test was carried out with the car running in idle, and then pressing the "lift vehicle" button on the dashboard - to reallly increase the pressure inside the strut. It took about 30 sec for the bubbles to then escape.
WOAH! My car was not bubbling up THAT much! Mine had very small bubbles, like this size (.)

AND my struts sank as soon as I turned the car off! Wonder what your's is like......
