Tubeless tyres, when do you change?

I currently run Schwalbe Rocket Rons on my Longitude and have been very happy with them.
However, they are now two years old but do have loads of tread left. The problem is they don't seem to hold air anymore and go down after a couple of weeks, I put this down to the sheer number of punctures they must have had. I remember one canal path ride from Rugby to MK where I later pulled 26 thorns from the front tyre! I also store my bicycles inside and I always have streaks of liquid around the sidewalls and small drops on the floor, which I assume is sealant?
So my question is do I change them as I think they have too many holes, change my brand of sealant (currently Stan's race) or just carry on in happy ignorance?
Does anybody else have sealant leaking though the tyres or is it because they are in a warm room?
