Default Active Cornering Enhancement ACE problem

I have both the hydraulic rams for the sway bars leaking, anyone know how to repair them?

When I take a corner a bit quick, the ACE red light starts to blink for 2 minutes then stops, at engine restart it goes solid orange.

The leak seems to be coming out of the seals inside and not the lines.

Thanks for the help.

How mechanical are you, how bad is the leak?
You might want to send me your number and I'll walk you thru what to do.

There are kits to replace the ACE with normal sway bars.
Here is a diagram of the DII suspension with and without ACE.

I'm a certified tech and have about 10 years experience, mainly on Japanese imports. But ready to learn tons more!!!

Thank you. I want to try to fix this issue 1st since I purchased a SE7 so that I could have this features. If a fix becomes to costly, than I'll go to the 2nd option. I found a Ebay seller that has front and rear new for about $150.00 coming from the U.K. but haven't ordered it.

I had to replace my front ACE ram this fall with a used unit. Once the rams are replaced you'll have to bleed the system. The rams have to be fully extended in order to bleed them - I used the Hawkeye. I couldn't get the Land Rover sealing washers in time so I used 1/4 BSP sealing washers from my local hydraulic supplier and they've sealed just fine.
