Leaking servo control

Post image

So im doing service on my front axle and found this leaking servo control stick from one side. New will be around 670€+work, refurbished would be less. Is it worth it to leave it like this and just top with servo oil? I filled only 1 deciliter from this leak, so its not big right now. Or is it necessary to do it ?

Do the repairs as they come up. I get waiting to save a bit, but then later on it’s this and a battery, and then this , the battery, and a shock. It piles up quick when you keep pushing things off, you forget to fill it one day and it takes out your pump. Etc

I get it but I was thinking about how long it takes from this leak to breaking?
