Q45a leaking strut - "Abort, Fail, Retry"

[slsmag]

Hi All -

The passenger side front strut on my '94 Q45a is leaking a bit of fluid.

The car has 120,000 miles on it, and other than the active suspension not holding up for too long after the car is shut down, it runs great.

So, the question becomes, is it worth replacing this strut? Is it something that can be repaired or sealed back-up? Or should I just live with it and keep my eye on the hydraulic fluid level?

Appreciate any BTDT advice!

Thanks,

[AZhitman]

Texasoil (NICO member) can recharge the accumulators - But I don't know if that helps your problem... ?

Thanks AZ -

As I mentioned in my thread about the "shudder", I had Keith do my front accumulators - and he did a great job, quickly, at a great price.

This, unfortunatley, is a different animal - the front struts for the active systems go new for around $1,200 each.

Oops - Missed your prior thread - Sorry.

I'm sure someone more knowlegeable will chime in here.

p.s. Thanks again for the info on Cleveland!
