Leaking magneride shocks or something else?

[CptSumTingWong]

Was under the car today and saw this. Are the shocks leaking or could this be coming from something else? Seems weird that they're leaking from the bottom up? Also only has about 20k miles.

Passenger side looks worse but drivers side looks like it's leaking too?

I have had issues with them leaking on previous vehicles. I won't buy them anymore.

So just to give an update in case anybody else has this issue, took it into the dealer to take a look at it and it looks like the front shocks are not leaking. They did find a rear leaking shock which I had not caught.

Apparently there is a vent tube that opens under heavy load which then drips to the bottom of the shock body so it looks like the bottom of the shock is leaking but is perfectly normal according to the tech.

Unless somebody has a different explanation? I'm also curious to see if anybody else has seen this on their cars?

Did they replace the rear shock under warranty?
