ahhh.. There should still be ones you can use in its place I would have thought - it would probably involve a trip to the model shop shop for a look though. A lot of shocks use similar Orings.

Is that definately where it is leaking then ? if so, have a look at the metal / threads in the shock body where the cartridge goes in. See if where the large oring butts up against the inside lip of the shock body has any grooves or burrs that might cause a leak or cause a damaged oring..

Sorry for chuntering on, you probably have checked a lot of stuff already.. Still, for the oring have a look at Kyosho and Yokomo shock parts if you have a local hobby shop stocking these, as there are similar seals used on those.
