Default Leaking Shocks

My dealer refuses to accept that my F55 option shocks are leaking - even though they have already replaced one of them and then wiped the other three clean. Today they said they could not replace the other three - which now have an oil coating on the outside without the Factory sending out an inspection technician - BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A SHOCK LEAK ON A CORVETTE.

This has been a long story (see http://www.50thregistry.com for full story) - anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

That's lose-lose. I lose the ride quality and I have to pay for it.

Chevrolet is paying for this - believe me :mad
