Hi guys
Found a pool of oil under the car and on inspection found this...
Is there oil in the thingy inside the spring? Or somewhere else?

have you lifted the bonnet Cathy?
I dont think it is from the shock, it would be all over the spring and its not. It looks like its coming from above.
Pop the bonnet and take a couple of pics directly above that space.
On top of the spring tower there is a cover plate that hides a dish of the top of the tower, if the leak is from above that dish will be full of oil and be leaking down teh bump stop by the looks of it. That rubber thing in the middle of the spring is the bump stop and does nothing but stop the shock from bottoming out. the oil is not coming from it its traveling over or through it.

Its certainly wet further above that and looks to be leaking through some unused holes in your guard. Do you have a catch can?
Are sure its oil? Is your coolant overflow also in that area?

The shocker
Above the spring
At first I thought it could have been the catch can but that is dry as. Could it be coolant????
There is yellow stuff everywhere as well.

Looks like coolant to me as its dried up a bit in places and the origin of the spill seems to be from your reservoir. Use your sense of smell to help you. Put your finger in the coolant and the leak area and see if they smell the same.

yeah that does not look ideal, i reckon its coolant. touch it. it should feel silky kind of oily but not like motor oil. I cant see the Yellow in the pic sorry. Give it a hose off and see if it dries tomorrow, if its coolant then it should wash off fairly well.
That over flow bottle looks like it needs some love mate.
