Yesterday, I added a small amount of Nitrogen to my Left Main Gear Strut and removed a little from my Right Main Gear Strut. On the top of the Left Strut there was resting water that I soaked up with a paper towel and the top of the right strut was dry. Is there a drain channel that allows water to drain away from the top of these struts? A drain channel that might be clogged over my left strut? I'm tied down outside, so I would like to know if things are draining the way they are supposed to. My other option could be to switch to the rubber caps that would probably seal better than the stainless ones.
