I got to the top of them after taking apart the internals of the back of the car. No leaks at all at the top that I can see through the holes. It really appears they are leaking at the bottom.
I can take care of the accumulators later to deal with any bouncy ride afterward if I need to, but these leaks are bad enough that I really have to take care of the main actuators first.

I've looked at all the writeups that I can find, but I can't seem to find any writeup or pictures on the actual replacement of the actuators/struts.

Is this something I can do with the car up on the jack stand one wheel at a time?
How easy is it to compress the strut into place?

I replaced the front struts fairly easily.
