Default DRC Update: New bulletin came out saying slight "sweating" is normal????
The 2 front shocks has some oil stain, not dripping, but definitely some sign of oil. Dealer ordered a pair of shocks proceeded to replace. They stopped the replacement because they found a AoA bullentin stating some "Sweating" is normal.

I called AoA asking to confirm this, and they come back saying this is normal too.

I am going to pick up the car tomorrow and will see the bulletin. anyone heard this so far?

You should have them pressure-test the system. If it's less than 12bar, then your shocks r leaking.
