Default STD coilovers

Bought me a set of STD R5 coilovers for my c5, finally ditching the terrible mag ride. My question is about rebuild, one of the used rears is leaky and I'd like to have a new seal installed.
anyone know of a kit? Or what oil to put in? Or a place in Canada to do it? I'm willing to try if I can find a seal and the amount of what oil.

I think you'll be best served if you return both shocks from that end of the vehicle to be serviced by manufacturer. Too many variables!

I have been talking to them, and they basically said it would be cheaper to buy new ones or have rebuilt locally. Just trying to figure out who can rebuild them in Canada.
