Front strut air leak

Hi All, it seems our 2016 5.0 sc has an air leak on the front right corner. Open the hood and it’s hissing. Located to the area around the nut of the strut. Can the bags be replaced on these or do I need the whole strut replaced?
Obviously it’s not a simple swap like the P38’s were, as I could do those with my eyes closed in less than 30 min a corner. Our L322 hadn’t had any issues yet and here we are 9 or so months in on the 405 and a leak.
Thanks for any help/advice on fix.

it does have the active suspension, wires in top of strut and the ace system.

Could it have been fixed by tightening the nut? I wouldnt normally expect it to leak from there. V8 or else ...

Maybe? I will give it a try tonight when I’m home. New part arrives in the morning.

New part arrived and just jumped in and replaced the strut, went pretty quick. Took about an hour and 15 minutes to swap it out. I didn’t even try to tighten the nut.
