Found rear shock absorber leaking. Ways a shock absorber can leak:
Dirt and debris getting inside of the shock/strut:This often happens when the strut boot is torn or not sealed properly.
A damaged strut shaft: If there is any damage, pitting or scoring on the polished shaft it will cause premature or rapid wear on the upper seals. It is critical not to use pliers on the polished shaft during installation as this can damage the shaft.
