Regarding your Aldan shocks.
There was some conversation about Aldans and seal leaks on the email forum a little while back.
The culprit seems to be over tightened mounting bolts and/or a slightly too short steel bushing causing the urethane bushings to bind on the shock body that in turn stresses the shaft seal.
