you may have a bent or scratched shock shaft causing the leaks. but if you have the original ZX5 shocks they didn't have the best seals. You can upgrade to the triple cap version from the RB5, these have a larger spacer between the o-rings and are a bit smoother and don't leak. You just need the new bottom caps, not the whole shocks.
Also get some of Northy's white o-rings, these seal much better than the kit kyosho ones. make sure you always lubricate the o-rings and shaft before assembling the shock so that the thread on the shaft doesn't tear the new o-ring.
