My rear passanger shock absorber leaks at the top of the tower and the car has an automatic leveling control system. Can this shock absorber be repaired or do I have to purchase a new one?

They are sealed units, repair is not an option. Call (619)444-2290 and talk to John or Sean, they are a BMW/Porsche dismantling facility and can get you the parts for your 750 E32. Another option would be to blank off the pressure line at the pump and utilize non self-leveling shocks, the boys at the salvage yard can steer you in the right direction.
