Send them to KW (they make them) , they charge $60 per strut to fix a leak (if it is at the seal, more if there are further problems) ..... if you have warranty, it is free!!!!

You can't buy any parts for the MP/KW coil-overs separately. However, you can send the struts to KW for a rebuild (not sure on the price thou)

Question, did you adjust the coil-over height down from the setting that they came with?

The reason I ask if it was lowered is it may explain why your struts are leaking. How many miles are on them?

Here is their site...http://kw-suspension.com/en/

It may not, but both Mopar and K/W say not to lower the shocks past the factory stop because it will void the warranty. One of the reasons for this is because the shocks are designed to work withing a certain range (much like a stock strut). This could be why it is leaking.

To confirm they are the MP coil-overs, do they look like this?
