2023 ST with oil leaking around right rear tire, coming from the shock?

[mwingnut7]

New 2023 ST with only 3000 miles (purchased in 12/24 from the dealer). The last couple of weeks I have noticed a slight vibration in the car…like a bad tire or flat spot on the tire. Just noticed an oil spot on the right rear tire and looks to be coming from the bottom of the shock collar. Not sure if the slight vibration and this is related, but looking for suggestions and if there was a TSB or a known issue of a failure.

Already had both struts replaced under the well known TSB at 1000 miles. Love the car and holding out hope for the long term, but starting to get a little nervous on the quality here. See attached pictures.

You didn't show a pic of the rear shocks but usually you will see oil running down the shocks. These rear shocks seem to have a high failure rate. Covered under warranty.

There is a pic of the shock with a drip of fluid showing on the bottom mount.

I had both my struts replaced on my 23 for the clunking low speed noise.
I didn’t even make it a day and the clunking is back.
I now have a clunking noise from the rear. I guess I need to check my rear shocks for any fluid leaking.
