If I clean all of the crap out and refill them, they're usually good for a days worth of racing. If I just top them off, they leak like there's no tomorrow. I will be completely rebuilding them today, but has anybody else had these issues?

What I find odd is the the shock shaft on the worst offender is still a nice uniform gold color. All of the others have little gold coating left.

Had the same problem with the "glitter" and leaking, the glitters had damage the o-ring and after I change to new o-ring now more leaking. I am using Associated orange o-ring which works very well with Asso Green Slime.
