I've wondered that too.  Mine started leaking during Ronald Reagan's
second term yet I have never noticed any deterioration in their
performance.  I've always judged shocks by their performance rather than
assuming a leak = time to replace.  Yet I wonder if I've just gotten
used to them and they really are shot.
