    Maybe it's me but it also kinda looks like the 1st valve compensating slide is rotted through. Which would also need a patch or a completely new slide.

    if it's just holes in the tubing inside the pistons, it might be a permanent fix if done well.
    if it's in the piston *walls* ... I believe it's the same story, but might be trickier to do well.
