Found oil under my 2018 ram 1500 ecodiesel. Dealer has been no help. I think it is coming from the shock. Truck has 30k on it. Anybody know more? Here is a pic.

Edit: Thought this was the top of the shock (if so no way its a shock leaking) but now I read you said it's "under" so not sure what I am looking at. If it is on top most likely spilled oil from a change.

Can’t see much from that pic ,have you looked to see if there is anymore evidence,leaking oil will attract dirt to it ,maybe you can get a few pics from different angles ,that might help to identify where the source is. Like mtn said.

Did you look at the actual strut to see if its wet? Look into the wheel well and look in between the spring coils. If its leaking you should be able to see oil on the outside of the strut and lower spring perch. It's not unheard of to have a strut leak.
