Leaking shock?

Hi, my front right goes down 20 mins after turning the car off.
I guess it's leaking air and it's an easy fix? Hopefully not a whole new shock? Cheers

Yes - for X164 the best replacement strut is made by Arnott - quite admirable actually.

By the side view mirror it's either an 11 or 12. Maybe it's still under warranty
