Hey Guys,

noticed a leak of some sort on my driveway today....wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what it is? I noticed this leak in my garage a few months back from the same wheel (Right - rear). But after a day it went away and never noticed it again.

Thanks for your input!

I'd assume your shock blew.

Thanks Guys appreciate the input.

I've been searching the forum and youtube. It doesn't look like a difficult replacement. I've not done much work on my car but am mechanically inclined. I don't usually do oil changes mainly because of oil disposal and making an absolute mess of my garage. Shocks/brakes, I'd love to learn how to do.

What's the consensus around here?

Ive done oil changes in my car.. i dont think id call it "messy" or may mess a garage..

But disposal.. i know in brampton, they have recycling centers. I drop off my oil there and the filter itself... or drop it off at Canadian tire - ive read a lot of about CT accepting these, never did it myself.

I would think it would be better to have someone there who's done it at least once and did it well.
Personally, I'd go to an independent garage and get the work done. I think prices are pretty reasonable if you search around. If you're in the GTA you could try Street Performance.

Its definitely the shock as mentioned, (only thing wet lol). Had one of mine blow out recently also... Do it yourself if you have the place and tools, its probably one of the easiest things to replace on the suspension!....Remove your wheels for easier access too.

And buy quality shock, don't mess with some Chinese production.

Go to a TM3 affiliate dealer and get a pair of OEM replacements - yes replace in pairs. The OEM shocks come with new mounts, which should be changed as these are a weak point and are known to break. You will need to source shock mounts if you go the 3rd party shock route.
