I received this from Patrick and repaired mine--any hydraulic
repair station will have the necessary parts and I have not had any problem
since I repaired mine--It took about an hour to fix once I found the corect
"o" rings.

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.
