    Default Help - Front Strut Leaking?

    I noticed some spots on my driveway, I checked out the car and noticed that oil/hydraulic oil is leaking from my passenger front end strut. The car drives fine, I do not notice any change. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Do I have to replace the strut, or both? I am not interested in lowering or putting on high price after market parts. Is there any place that you recommend?

    Thanks for your replies.

    I replaced the struts myself. Not a tuff job except that the bolts were pretty rusted, I had to use a grinder to cut off the End Links and replace them with new ones. I put in Monroe Struts that were on sale for $160 each. Did my front brakes at the same time. I am happy with the way the car rides now, nice and firm but not harsh.
