Leaking Multimatic struts
So I have a ZLE that I run about three times a year at Sebring as well as other tracks. Got through with a track day a couple weekends ago and was checking the car over and found two leaking front struts as well as a leaking motor mount. I know that Sebring is hard on cars but are the multimatic struts that delicate. This will be my second driver side strut, are others having this issue?
Thanks Doug |

Is it grease out of the vent or leaking somewhere else? I know that small amounts of grease out of the vent is "normal."

One side is leaking out the vent the other seems to be coming from the bottom. I had not heard that a bit of leaking from the vent is normal, I had one replaced already when it was leaking from the vent.

Grease leaking from the sintered brass vent at the bottom is normal. There is a service bulletin on it.

Wondering if I need to retire the car from track days to keep the wear and tear off it. Such a shame since it is so good. |
