So, like many of you I have had the CEL come on for the second time (first reset itself after 250 miles and before dealer could look at it). This time it's been on for almost 400 miles and 2 fill-ups. I also have the infamous creaking windshield under certain (cold) conditions.
But I noticed over the weekend that there was oil on the garage floor, at the rear corners of the car. A quick look underneath revealed that both rear shocks were dripping shock oil. The shock bodies are grimy and covered in a thin residue of oil and road dirt, like the bottom of an old engine oil pan that has not been properly cleaned after oil changes. Right rear is worse than left, but both are leaking.
Nearest Mazdaspeed dealer is 1.5 hours away, and the dealer I bought the car from is 3 hours away. Fortunately, my local Mazda dealer can service the car. So it goes in tomorrow morning for a once-over.
