If it's a Workhorse,,, Open the hood, look over to the passenger side, and find the blue vacuum line. I bet it's disintegrating.

Those sensors sure don't look like they're placed in the right spots. The top and middle are way too close together. It's no wonder the level indicates a change so quickly.
