I think I'm a new member of the blown strut club. Bought mine back in April, it hasn't been lowered. Over the past week I've noticed the rear end is really bouncy in touring and sport mode. I'll get in on the lift next week to confirm it.

Got my car up on the lift and confirmed that both of the rears are leaking and GM wouldn't replace them, because they didn't think a little leaking was a problem.

I wish I had a photo, but from my observation the outer part of the strut was covered in a thick layer of black oily dust. It wasn't a constant drip, but it was enough to make for a bouncy ride. It has also began to make a clunking noise over dips in the road.
