I think you can tighten the lid "so tight" that it displaces the bladder or seal.

The kyosho rtr plastic shocks aren't known for their amazing sealing ability, and i have heard of many peole with problems like yours. Do check to make sure that all seals are good, and it is not hydrolocking. If all else fails, squirt green slime on the rings and bladder seal.
