Stock shocks aer'nt worth messing with, buy some new ones.
Only 3 shocks I'd consider buying...

Losi's 4"- pro's, aluminum and threaded. Cons, plastic bottom end that I believe will start to leak overtime.

Traxxas xxl big bores- pros, aluminum and never leak properly set-up. Cons, not threaded.

Pro-line powerstroke's rear for the slash/ruster, etc... Fronts are too short. Pros, aluminum, threaded, and work great. Cons, the price!

yes, it is bad having no oil in the shocks. the best thing to do is to read the RMDW T's & T's sticky at the top. it will give u all the imfermation that u need for seeting up your creeper proberly. also remember, u have a biuld thread. you do NOT need to start a new thread for every question u have .

btw.... losi 4" shocks are your best bet and no matter how much u d*** with those bottom plastic caps they will never leak

He means they weep...they do lose a trace amount of fluid through the O ring seals on the plastic caps...replacing your O rings and using proper oil can keep the leakage and "weeping" to a viable minimum.
