My rear shocks is leaking. I took it to the store and they do not fix it.
What model is it? Year? And what FOX shock is it?
Does it worth to fix it? Or shall I buy something else?

You don't have a Stumpjumper, you have a 2002 Epic FSR and the shock built specially for Specialized features 'Brain' technology. This is quite a special bike since we see the introduction of the inertia valve in suspension.
Here is a nice article from when your bike was launched: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/article819.html
And another article giving a more complete up to date history of the Epic: https://www.velonews.com/gear/the-evolution-of-the-epic/
When I have been confronted with older Specialized Brain components before, I have followed the trail up by speaking to Specialized warranty department to see who does the warranty service in your country. For me, it is a company in Bedfordshire who also service Fox and Rockshox. As it is a Fox part, there is a good likelihood that a service centre will have common service parts even for older shocks but sometimes unique internal components are unavailable. Even so, it’s worth sending the shock to a specialist. I’m surprised your shop wouldn’t arrange this for you.
