There also is the "internal" leak, detected by removing the fork from the
flange and checking for oil coming internally from the interior of the
rod.

So--just how do you check fluid levels, internal leaks and dampening
force on a ESCO strut with internal dampeners??? I know how to service
the strut by compressing it until the fluid runs out and then airing it up to
about 300psi, and that was done about 18 mos ago. So it seems to me if
the strut does not collapse and there are no visible leaks (other than the
normal engine oil residue after every extended flight) then it is reasonable
to assume all is ok with the innards--is there is more to the story, well
please enlighten me.

most basic things to check are fluid level, internal leaks, and
damping force.
