The spring perch has that telltale debris and stain on the fronts.

I guess I need to wait until it gets worse and fails the pressure

before Audi will replace.

Fronts are def leaking but you have to battle with dealer as to whether they are simply 'perspiring' which he will claim is normal. This was one shock that failed after only 200 miles and dealer claimed that was 'normal'! Eventually had all 4 and 2 valves replaced...

At what mileage did your shocks get replaced?

are you under the 12mo/12kmiles threshold?

Here are some pictures of my "leaking" drc. Just heard back from Carousel Audi (Mpls) that they will be replacing all four shocks & a special tool will be shipped in to facilitate the filling or draining of the system or so I was told. Sounds like I'm the first RS4 to have the DRC fixed by Carousel(at least that my service tech was aware of) but several RS6's have had their DRC replaced.
Wish me luck!
