Default ZX5 Shock Absorbers

I have a ZX-5 with Kyosho Triple Seal Shocks on it.

The problem I have is that oil seeps from out of the very top of the shock caps. I am led to believe that there are a number of different shock caps for the Lazer shock absorbers. Can abybody provide me with a part number for the right caps for my shocks so that I can order some new ones to try and stop the seepage?

As you may gather, I don't have an instruction manual for the car!

Thanks in advance

might be the o-ring that is faulty.

I've seen so many people put that upper o-ring in incorrectly and wreck it. It's easily done if your not familiar with the shocks design!
