DRC pics, would like second opinion(s)

I was in for service a few weeks ago and they said everything checked out fine. That doesn't look fine to me.

Re: now with more pics!

Audi would call that normal. The pic with the boot all wet is a good indication of a bad leak, IMO.

This looked very much like mine when I was 15K. Mine had more "sweats" per TSB. U have any

clunking? Mine seems to have gotten worse visually, but no clucking yet. 25K coming up, will see what they say. They didn't replace it at 15K since TSB says that's normal.

I got clunking as well usually only when I it one side or the other

rarely does it clunk if I hit say a speed bump.

it looks like it's leaking. I just had my shocks replaced last thursday...

But my shocks looks more obvious that it's leaking than yours (i can wipe it off on my garage floor). Originally i was at the dealership for the front shocks but they did the rear too even if there were no signs of leaking. Well hope everything turns out well for you. Goodluck!
