Andy,
The aviation community uses Granville Strut Seal to cure strut leaks. I
have not used this fluid, but others I know claim it really works.
It might be worth a try with your shock absorbers. You would first need to
confirm that the seals you have are compatible with the Granville fluid.
Most general aviation mail-order places carry it. I would try Chief
Aircraft at 1-877-635-1708.
If you try it, please let us know how it works.
