Default 997.1 C2S front strut leak

Front driver side strut sprung a leak.
PASM & Sport mode optioned
What to do? Car's in storage now so have time to consider options.
Is there an aftermarket replacement for the active shocks?

Leaking struts are toast. Just make sure it's the strut that's leaking and not something above it just dripping down onto the strut.

Don't replace just that side. Do at least both front struts. Depending on the mileage on the car and the roads where you live, it may be time to do all four.

There are aftermarket options for struts. Billsteins seem to be well-liked on this forum. Yes, they do make a PASM strut replacement.

You can also probably find a good deal on a used set from someone that changed over to coilovers. I'd hook you up but sold mine last year.

Maybe send an email to Tom at TPC, the guys at Sharkwerks, etc as they're probably pulling OEM suspensions monthly for track conversions.
