car leaning to the left


I haven't had this car for to long and when the car is sitting on level ground it looks liek it is leaning to the left side i no the left front tire is low but even if u pump that tire up it still seems liek it is leaning to the left so i was wondering what u guys think might cause this?? Oh and it is a 1990 2.3 with a t-5 if that help at all
