Default HELP SL convertible hydraulic leak

Help- 93 500 sl- 1 year ago had 1 right cylinder leak and it was replaced. About 3 months later 3 more leaked and replaced. Last week a left sider replaced. Today have puddle of hydraulic fluid on the right again. Is this a permanent exercise in futlity??? Can this individual cylinder replacement work (now $4000 in the hole), or should the whole thing have been replaced (or the car). It seems that fixing some exaggerates the others weakesses, and it's cycling around. Thanks.

Will these cylinders all have to be replaced, since new leaks seem to sprout after each replacement (some 6 so far). What is your cylinder price??? I don't know part number.

Find out which one is leaking and get the part#
Wrong fluid or mix of fluids cause the seals to go bad!You better flush the sistem.
