Yeah, I heard that too, but wondering if that's a bit overly cautious. I had my Lexus for under 2 years and have no access to its maintenance history from 70,000 miles so the other shock could be 80k miles old or it could be 20k. Personally I don't feel any change in handling or when braking with one new and one old shock. I will keep an eye on uneven tyre wear.

@Linas.P @bobmc Thank you both for suggestions, turns out oil was coming from the shock absorber - got it replaced (£275 inc. labour, ouch). Hoping the other one doesn't go. Topped up engine oil and will monitor the level to make sure nothing wrong going on there.

Hi, my 2006 IS250 with 80k on the clock started dripping oil. Noticed a small puddle on the ground - seems to be dripping from the bottom wishbone, fairly near the driver side wheel. Oil level dropped from full to next to nothing in the last 3 weeks. Oil and filter change done over a year ago (5000 miles), no recent maintenance other than MOT/brakes. Any idea what it might be? Don't really have the tools (or skills...) to tackle it myself, would you recommend a Lexus dealer or an independent garage?
