MG MGB Technical - Rear Shocks

The rear shocks on my 73 MGB are leaking oil. At first it was just a little, and I would top them off now and then, but one is leaking really badly now.
I have read a lot of things about shocks in this thread and the archives, but cannot find a definite conclusion.
Am I better off to buy new shocks? Buy rebuilt shocks? Can I rebuild the shocks myself? Is there something else I should consider that I am missing?
I would just like some opinions? Where is the best place to buy shocks?
Thank you.

You cannot repair them yourself. Even if you could get them apart, you will not be able to buy parts to fix them. Check out this site http://www.mailbag.com/users/nosimport/ for rebuilt shock. Thay do a super job and service is fast

Apple Hydraulics (NY)rebuilds them, and they will do a "competition" upgrade if you like.
