Thank you Ewn and Simon. Much appreciated.
I took off the drivers side wheel again to clean up last nights leakage. On a whim I lowered the car down to where the passenger side tyre touched the ground and the a bit more to where the drivers side sans wheel kept going down a bit. I heard something give. In short, the slack on the drivers side is now gone and my lower springs are now both snug and looking much like Ewn's.
