I found these wet spots while rotating my tires today. Seems like weird spots for it to be fluid from the shocks.
Any ideas or recommendations of things to check or replace?
Thanks for any replys,

The rubber boot that holds the air in starts to dry rot over time and lets the oil from inside the shock leak out. As the shock goes up and down as you drive, it gets oil on the top and bottom. Monroe makes a nice replacement strut for that.

i would not do the quick struts up front, as you might get the incorrect spring rate with the new strut
The quickstrut for the rear is the strut and mount already assembled. That would be the ideal way to go. I always recommend replacing the mount when you replace the strut anyways.
