As the title says, in August I replaced the DS rear AHC shock because it was leaking fluid (enough to cover the shock body, but not drip on the floor). At the time, the PS rear was bone dry on the outside with no signs of leaks.

A few weeks after install, I checked again, and both were dry.

Now (Nov. 2017) the PS shock body is covered in fluid.

Factors:

-Fluid has been flushed and system bled twice with new AHC fluid.
-Graduation test shows around 10-11 marks.
-All pressures are within spec (even before shock replacement).
-At the time of the DS replacement, I put in Slee spacers to make the pressures fall into the lower range of spec.
-'05 LX with 74k miles.


Why would the PS rear now leak? Luck, or something else?
 
I seem to have the same issue up front and am looking at replacing both to head off this problem at the pass. Subscribed for more info...
