My front Left shock kept on sagging and making the car look like it had a stroke.

I was hoping it was the O-ring in the accumulator bank.
I have swapped them and alas this has not fixed the problem.

I should have done this first test.
1) Tighten the allen key isolating valve on the top of the shock. If this is off and the shock goes down it must be going somewhere else (not back through the valve body O-Rings)

I have removed the small "relief" vale on the side of the shock. I get a slow dribble of fluid out of the front left shock. The other shock does not leak any. SO my thought is that this is the relief valve return. I will now have to pull the shock apart, I have previously rebuilt it and think there may be a small particle sticking the vale partly open (Occasionally the shock will not sag).
Anyway I will post when I fix this. But in the meantime do the isolation vale test before changing the O-rings in the valve body.
