sorry for the late reply,
will take pics 2marrow,
well the air- is from the air valve on the shock which i filled when i first got em,
grease/oil, whatever it is is comming from the top of the shocks, not the ball joints or tie rod , checked that

any other suggestions would help

As I posted in another thread Tom's wants $1800 to send you their B-stock from Japan rather than rebuilding yours.
