has any one had their strut leak at this point and got it fixed without having to replace the whole strut?

Well all you should hope for that its a leaky line that way it will be a much cheaper fix. If you have a leaky shock, it will need replaced. There are some good used ones on there going from $300-600 per shock. Beats $900-1000 per shock at the dealer. If you can wrench, that's even better.

if i find one for 300 i will jump on that deal, was on car-part.com about a week ago and there was one for $200 but it was sold, next cheapest is 400+. the leak is just coming out of the rubber cover, there is a big one and then a smaller one underneath the big one, this is where the leak is coming from. thinking of trying a few things, i just need something to hold it up to buy some time till i get a replacement at my price range

Hey no problem. We are an Audi Community and I try to help with what I can. Even though i'm a newer member there are some other old timers that have more experience and knowledge than me. At least you have a backup plan. Sometimes you might have to do what you have to do when you are in a jam.
