'96 Air Shock Pump Runs Intermittently

We've got a couple of '96 Wagons, one a Limited with the towing package. If I drive it, the air pump comes on and runs for a few seconds intermittently at intervals of 15 minutes to an hour, for as long as a day or so (maybe longer) while it's parked.Any ideas what could be causing this,and should I be in a hurry to fix it? The wagon has about 83K miles. Many Thanks!

Welcome to AF! If you are financially capable of replacing the rear struts, it would be a good idea to do it soon, otherwise you run the risk of being stranded with a dead battery! You probably have a leak in the air bladders of the rear struts. You can pull the fuse to disable the compressor until you replace the struts.
