There is a seal kit for those struts, but it takes a special tool to install. Do it quickly because your pump will burn out if the leak is allowed to continue for any amount of time.

but delivery maybe will cost much to lithuania...
i will try to make that special tool by me self http://www.chain-auto-tools.com/new_...s/AMR1036E.htm
i think it is possible to do that with any magnet and some construction.
