Calling all Koni/GC users... (or anyone with Koni Yellows "smarts")

[GreenMarine]

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I've posted on here... What can I say, I work full time and go to school... My summer is sucking somewhat...

Anyway, lets kick this off since this is the "Technical Q&A" Forum...

My suspension...

Koni Yellow Strut inserts (set on full firm)
Ebiach Springs (380lb/in F and 325lb/in R)

The problem...

I recently replaced my front struts because the passenger side one was leaking fluid at the adjuster "nipple" (at the top of the strut)... No biggie, Koni sent me new ones and I sent back the old ones... HOWEVER, 2 weeks after having the new ones installed I noticed that BOTH of the struts were leaking from the same place (adjuster "nipple")... This absolutly baffles me and to be honest, I am really getting sick of it...

What I need to know...

1.) Is there anyone else out there that has experienced the same thing? or am I all alone with this problem?

2.) Is there something wrong with turning the Koni yellows on "full stiff" ?

3.) What EXACTLY are the recommended spring rates for those struts?

4.) Could old top hats cause failure of the struts?

5.) Anything I missed?

Thanks very much in advance guys... I need to get this mess worked out quick... I have done nothing but work, go to school, pay bills and get the SVX worked on this summer... It gets to be quite a drag after a while so any help sorting this mess out would be great... Thanks
