    Where is the shock leaking from?

    You're probably more likely to get the parts from a suspension shop than a parts vendor. A local suspension guy should be able to help you, or ZipTy, LTR, WER, MX-Tech, etc.

    Most shock leaks require a full service and a nitrogen recharge to fix.

    Sounds like the seal head. Check the shaft very carefully for knicks, bumps, scratches, etc. Seal heads usually last a long time, so something on the shaft could have torn it up. Replacement seal heads should be really easy to get from any suspension place.

    Replacing the seal head is easy for someone to do, but they need to pull the valving and piston to do it, so you might as well revalve the shock while you're in there! :D
