Why Does My Cessna Nose Strut Keep Leaking Down?

By Dave McFarlane

Maintenance Tip:
Wipe the chrome strut down with Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits) periodically to soften and remove any dried oil film, dirt, dust, and bugs.

To find the seal kit for your aircraft, go to Main and Nose Strut Seal Kits.
