shock leak
mechanic advised of a leaking front left shock. does this look concerning? if so who soon should I get it replaced? also could this cause the squealing im getting despite replacing my front pads and rotors with powerstops. thanks

I recommend wiping them down and checking again after a few weeks of driving. But at a quick glance, the wetness on the boot looks concerning. Does the car drive OK?

Shock would NOT cause a squealing but control arm bushings can cause a squeak when moving.
