Umm, they're probably not leaking because, with the valve removed, there is
no pressure <g>. Why do you think the PO went with the tube shocks? I think
you can assume that if you replaced the valve, they'd start leaking away.
Without getting into the Great Shock Debate, I would suggest that if the
tube shocks seem to be working, and you are not planning on entering a
concours d'elegance, you leave well enough alone. Unless you have nothing
else to do on the car, and are just itching for a project...
[Purely IMO]
