Good Day All,
I have a yellow fluid leak that looks like it is coming from the driver side rear shock. However, the AHC fluid is pink, but this fluid is yellow. it's a very slow leak. This pic is from 10+ days of sitting in my garage. Thanks for helping identify this issue.

The shock body appears wet all the way up inside the cover. I suspect your leak is shock fluid.
 
AHC fluid I put in was pink, the stuff that came out when I first bled was definitely not. So dirty AHC fluid leaking from shock would be my first thought. The top of that shock is in a tough spot. If you jump ahead in this video you can see it pretty clearly (around 3:15).
 
Its the ahc fluid. You can notice that the new ahc fluid if not cleaned up on top of the can, it will turn that yellow color.
