Here is a suggestion. Untill you get the strut replaced get a piece of rubber radiator hose about 2 1/2 inches long, slice it down the side and wrap it around the base of the strut with a screw clamp to prevent the strut from bottoming out metal to metal. After I got my nose strut fixed I left the rubber on in case the strut looses pressure again.
