Default 2005 lexus ls430 bc coilovers

I installed my coilovers and it has been on my car for almost a week.
fronts were rubbing bad so I raised it up. Drove the car to work and went out on break just to see my car lowered again on the front driver side when I literally just raised it up.
I've adjusted it 5times already and it still keeps sitting low. When I adjust it and drop the car I can tell it's raised up but after awhile of it sitting I can tell that it goes back to being lowered???????

Should have a screw type collar for height adjustment, right? Perhaps the shock portion has a leak and is compressing? Make sure the collar is set and mark it to see if it comes undone. Also look for oily residue on the shock itself and go from there...

That was the first thing I checked for was for leaks.
no leaks at all. I'll be using a sharpie tomorrow to see if it's adjusting when driving
