This is somewhat of a departure from the original conversation, but pertains to shock fluid. I recently acquired a completely restored running chassis with restored shocks. Two of the shocks are leaking fluid and I’m not experienced enough to tell what type of fluid was used in the restoration. Unfortunately the individual who performed the work is no longer around so I need to either diagnose what the oil type is so I can keep the shocks topped off, or find a suitable fluid that will mix regardless of what he used. The drops beneath the leaking shocks seems to be an oil, and is somewhat thick and sticky. Any suggestions?
