Unidentified leak

BetweenTheWheels · 09-06-2020, 09:47 AM

Hi all

I've noticed some light dripping/dried droplets on my garage floor and my first thought was 'damn, oil leak'. But the drops don't dry fully opaque and they're more of grayish black with less viscosity than engine oil. Also, the droplets are on floor by the right front wheel, not in the center of the engine or back by the oil pan. So... I wonder, could this be shock fluid?

Any advice welcomed.

I suppose it could be fluid from the front thrust arm bushing.
