Default Shock leaks

I need the part number for the o ring for the hydraulic reservoir on the Model A. Mine are leaking but I do not need the whole kits.

Where do they leak? If around the stem of the adjusting screw get an O-ring from your local hardware and replace the packing with the O-ring. worked for me. All original shocks seem to leak. I've had three full sets done by two of the best rebuilders according to this site and they all leaked somewhere within a year of rebuild. Next time I'll get the new ones.$$$$

They leak at the base of the reservoir (large o ring). The whole design is terrible. I was wondering if they leaked from the factory.
