Front shock absorber leak??

[Satnav]

Just putting new disc’s and pads on my 2020 6.1 Kombi 4 motion LWB and there seems to be a lot of oil around the shock on the N/S..

Is this normal amount or has the shock had its day?? (Please see pics)

Cheers for any advice offered.

It’s a very small weep that’s spread in the dirt to make it look worse than it is. I will only get worse so don’t wait for it to spray oil over the brakes.
In case you’ve been into a garage recently consider whether it may have been a mechanic squirting penetrating oil about.

I’ll give it a good clean and keep and eye on it.
It did have a Mot and service in Jan at the main dealer and they didn’t mention any leaks.

Lift up the rubber boot and see if there is oil on the piston

Needs replacing as will only get worse and will become detrimental to the safety / handling
