Suspension leak...

No, this post is NOT about the air suspension leaking.

I awoke the CE from it's long winter nap today because we had to move it off the lift in preparation to put the Blue Flame on the lift for some maintenance work to get ready for race season. The car had been on the lift since November. Upon lowering the lift I immediately noticed a wet spot around the rear passenger tire. I stopped and investigated. It was oil of some sort but not gear oil. It wasn't brake fluid either. Puzzled, I lifted it back up and jacked up the rear so the tires would be off the lift platform.

Then I noticed the drivers side was wet as well, but not quite to the extent of the passenger side.

I looked to find the source but virtually everything was dry with the exception of a slight oily residue at the bottom of the shock.

The passenger side...
