so my drivers side did this for a bit when it was new, and has since stopped. i figure it was blow by while the seals wore in.
passenger side is doing it bad.
not sure if this is just considered a weep and don’t worry, or warranty.
i wiped the shock about 3 weeks ago clean.
what do you all think? i want to do a 1” level, but not until i know whats going on here.

At the dealership I worked at I remember them not covering a leaking strut. The theory being it could be the drivers fault I guess. I only remember one time so not sure if it was Nissan's policy or not. Personally I think with a dual A arm suspension it would be really hard for a driver to blow the strut.

advisor didn’t sound like it was a problem, but if it is- i’ll maybe just go ahead and do the eibach kit. when i called them, they said it’s being released any day now, and taking orders.
but id rather run stock for a bit, its not horrible.

Same issue here. Took it back to dealer about 4 days in shop while part was ordered and replaced.

good to hear. i’m not overly concerned, as stock shocks are really hit or miss. some last what seems like forever and start leaking before you get plates on it!
