leaking shock absorbers

hello, i have one problem - covers/caps of shock absorbers are split/cracked a little and when i am pushing down i hear air coming out from that splits i put some glue on that but after some time the glue cracked too... what to do ? to put more glue? to change caps? or to change whole absorbers?
thanx

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.
