What causes oil to leak from a Monroe strut?

(The rod is lubricated as it cycles in and out of the working chamber). When the shock / strut is manufactured, an extra amount of oil is added to the shock / strut to compensate for this slight loss. On the other hand, fluid leaking down the side of the shock / strut indicates a worn or damaged seal, and the unit should be replaced.

We have a growing range of Shock Absorbers from trusted leading brands such as Monroe, KYB and in our own Repco brand.
