I just took my 2010 Honda Civic out of winter storage (~5 months) and noticed one of the rear shocks is leaking. It looks fresh so I assume it is recent. Drove to work today, 54 miles total, and it doesn't seem to be leaking anymore.
Would storing a car cause the shock to leak? Is it possible for it to leak a little bit and then stop? I'm surprised it is leaking with only 70k miles on the car and it has an easy life.
I will probably replace them with the KYB Excel-G from rockauto if it keeps leaking. It appears the OEM shocks are made by KYB.
