Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm two weeks into ownership of my first 996, and after driving it close to 100 miles now, I thought the right front sway bar link probably needed to be replaced. This evening I got it in the garage and jacked it up to take a look, and once I got the right front wheel off, I noticed quite a bit of fluid (see pics). Not sure what fluid this is. Looks kinda green-ish. My sense of smell is very bad, so I can't do a smell test. What do you think this is? Steering fluid? Leaking strut? Coolant? Other? Thanks in advance for the help! Mike

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, something else I noticed is that both front struts don't have a bump stop. Shouldn't they have one?

POST 3Original post

Most likely shock oil... if so they r done. The power steerjng fluid is also green so if the level is good its probably not that but it could be coming from the rack.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
