I've had my car (almost ready for first start) off the jack stands and sitting on the tires for a couple of weeks. Yesterday, I noticed a puddle of fluid next to the rear drivers side wheel. Upon inspection, there is oil leaking out of the shock from under the black cap where the adjustment button is. These are the standard Koni shocks from the kit. I'm guessing that this shock is defective and that I should call F5 to get a replacement, but is there any way this is just a usual occurrence that doesn't require replacement? These types of setbacks are a bummer. But I did look at the other 3 shocks, and none of them appear to be leaking.
