big money (isnt the MS ~5k installed) on a warranteed car.

Are repairs/replacement generally effective? Did Audi redesign the shocks that go in as replacements? I would consider the Stasis if this was going to be a recurring problem.

I have been mostly ignoring the DRC threads because I don't what to do to check it. I don't really work on my car other than check the oil. I have taken it for the 5K service.

Is this something I need to keep an eye on or is the dealer going to check it on a regularly scheduled service?

Thanks

Does anyone not have leaking...anyone?

despite what seems to be a frequent occurrence based on postings on this board, most people are still leak free.

unless symptoms become severe and you bring it in for those symptoms. You need to get under the car and look and feel for fluid on the shock body, especially near the DRC fluid line.
