Hello,
I rebuilt my strut by myself. In fact it is very easy and cheaper. You have to change the 4 o-ring (all the same and easy to found) and, if necessary, the spy join. Use folk oil sae 30 as describe in the strutservice.pdf.
Good flight and Happy new Year

PS: You can put my answer on the LML.....I try and I don't succeed (it's more difficult for me than repair the strut !!) ;)

Subject: Esco strut
> Today I found my Esco strut on the bottom and oil on the nose tire and a puddle of oil on the hangar floor. I figure the O ring gave out but I have no info on this strut. Previously, on my Piper I had the nose strut leak and my A & P rebuilt it and put nitrogen in--this never happened again. If you have experience with this please respond.
