    I've put about 10k miles on my 5100's and that's 99.9% highway commuting. Noticed just this one strut looks to be leaking? A year old.

    Could this be a sign that the strut is leaking and is going bad? If that's the case I'm going to be very disappointed with Bilstein...

    Any strut is capable of leaking quickly. Even all brands that make top notch quality coilovers with those awesome seals. It happens.

    And to answer you question, yes it appears to weeping slowly.
