... and I think I would just need the two rubber o-rings, and the round rubber (green) flat ring to fix this... also maybe the metal ring on the top piston which resembles an engine piston ring, though after looking at the top piston when I got it apart, I do not think the ring or that piston plays too significant a role in sealing the strut as there are those seven holes in the piston which the washers when installed do not seem to completey seal the piston which I do not understand, but it seems to allow for a certain amout of fluid flow past the piston, making me think that the lower cylinder with its o-rings has the task of sealing the strut.
