When is a F55 shock leaking? Dripping on the floor, seeping? Is there a way to check it? I was at the dealership getting an alignment and they said my shock was leaking. It looked dirty but nothing real bad. How do I confirm?

There will be a serious amount of residue and oil on the exterior of the shock.
