My IS300 is on tien coilovers and I noticed this when my car was jacked up, this is my daily and only noticed this one looking like this

looks like its leaking, potentially about to blow up soon?

Yeah it's definitely leaking. It won't necessarily blow up, but will lose its ability to dampen. I would see if you can get it rebuilt by Tein. If not then you will have to buy some new suspension.

Probably better off getting a new set all together. The rest may be on the way out as well.

Leaking coilovers are a definite sign

Does the manufacturer have some kind of warranty? You could send it to them for a rebuild . Depending on what company
