The other shock is bone dry... I think I might have a little leak.
Anyone else seen this?

90's on the MK1+... Sorry to hear that, I hope you have warranty for the shocks... Get Bilsteins if you can...

If the shocks blow, Bilstein will replace them. Of course if Stasis modifies the Konis, that may void Koni's warranty.

" BUILT FOR A LIFETIME
Last but not least, KONl's are built to last a lifetime. Once you have bought a set of KONl's for your car, they usually will outlive it. KONI street shocks carry a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser for as long as you own the vehicle.

...oh wait, that's just a pic of your car. ;-)
Likely you've got a blown Koni. Here's a pic of a blown, leaking Bilstein next to a good one....for reference.

Good luck.

Some shock manufacturers say that a small amount of oil sepage is normal. Mostly only applies to aluminum body, rebuildable race shocks though...
Keep an eye on them.
