left shock. What color would the liquid be if your left front shock is leaking? It is a small area on floor in garage
What color would the liquid be?
 
Agree, "Dark Brown"

Best bet, get it up in the air somehow, and shine a light on the shock. If you see wet fluid evidence under the skirt overhang of the shock, or on it's sides, replace the shocks, in pairs. Not just one. Also if you jack it up yourself, don't forget to use the 'hockey pucks' as spacers in the frame holes as to where to place your 'low profile floor jack'. A few months ago I had a brand new set of run flat tires put on mine. The kids at Discount Tire 'began' to place their floor jacks under the rocker panels (no Hockey Pucks). Thankfully I saw this and stopped them before they crushed the rockers. :cool:
