some kind of gel
i moved my car out of the garage today and there was gel from the front of the car. it was a good amount prob half a cup. i do not believe its my shock because they are almost brand new and no bounce from the suspension.
any ideas? it was the front driver side.
its was like silicon and when wet it was like a an oil.

Only thing that has silicone in them (that can leak out) are the engine/transmission mounts.

1. Jack up front of car and put it on jackstands
2. Get under car on your back
3. Look up directly above where you found the stuff
