They usually leak at fittings, but the problem is rarely the fittings. They almost alway leak because the installer used side-cutters to cut the tubing, when a sharp straight-blade is required, so that the tube doesn't crush when it's being cut. I suspect slightly trimming the tubing at the fittings will resolve the leaks.
That said... I really like my Sumos. But I retained my airbags. The Sumos on the rear of the E350/450 replace the factory bump stop, so you can retain outboard airbags even with the Sumos installed. I have the black ones, but if I didn't also have airbags, I'd need the stiffer ones.
