so you think is safe to buy the strut?
Is there anyway I can test the strut disconnecting from car to make sure it is the culprit and then buy one?

You could take the strut out, remove the dust boot, connect a hose and air compressor to it, inflate the strut, and spray it all over with soapy water. This might show you where the leak is coming from.

Thank you that helps will do it sometime and update the forum.
this really helps, just want to make sure before but a strut.
On the same issue , do you think control unit switch relay which is located next to where stud is connected to lover body may be playing role here?
i saw some vedios on YouTube which talks about a bad signal, do you think it is playing any role in my case?
i really appreciate and glad about the members of this forum for guiding to diagnose this complex problem.

Never mind, I was able to get it out, I had to take another bolt off and level control arm and one more bolt to get it off.
Now I tried to inflate little by little and I see the strut takes pressure and boot inflate and immediately I feel the air leaving from the bottom of the boot. Looks like my strut is bad, I am going to order one fit it and let you guys know how it goes.
Thanks for all of you for kind help.
