Question How to diagnose F/R Hood struts??

Hi,
I am wondering how we can say whether the struts have gone bad or not?? I checked them and the passenger side front hood strut is leaking oil whenever I open my hood and ofcourse the hood drops down after a while(1-2minutes) and I have to keep it stay. and the reat struts seem fine but, the trunk falls down like a thunder. Its ok with me since I always close the trunk slowly, but if someone closes it since they dont know, they just close it as usual and it slams down which hurts me alot. So, whats a good solution for these struts.

thanks,
-Pavan
