: the contact stated while inspecting the vehicle's struts, there was moisture present on the front driver's side. The next day during further inspection, lubricant from the strut was observed to be spewed inside of the wheel well. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the parts are not available to make the repairs. The manufacturer has been alerted.
