Default Re: Filling up Hydraulic Reservoir

The weakest link may blow out once the leaky one is repaired. Is this the consensus of the forum to rebuild all seven? It is about $750. I am checking on the pricing of my local company, Cabriolet Hydraulics. I am also asking for their recommendations. I am new to this and think to replace one would be fairly simple or maybe two (same one on the other side).

Please let me know if anyone has had any good or bad experience with replacing one or possibly two only. I added some photos as visuals of my one cylinder leaking

This photo shows a reflection in the pool of fluid
I captured some numbers from the cylinder. I don't know if they are important yet.
Showing a clean rod, hoping this can be rebuilt reasonably. $750 is not too bad for all seven.

Your asking to predict the future. Replace one OLD tire (or only the one that blew out 80mph on the interstate?). Kinda the same situation. Your choice, gamble the old seals will last till the next owner or do them all now for you, onward. Want to be asking here in a few months/years for help with leaks (again?). Your choice, good luck!
