Hi folks.

I have a 2001 honda civic ex with 41,000 miles. I just did a visual
inspection of my front struts and i got some seepage going on, it hasnt
traveled down over the lower spring base, but the side of the shock is
clearly wet. Inspection was prompted lately cause i just installed KYB GR2
on the wifes car (1998 civic LX) and I started to notice SUCH a difference
from that to mine (2001). So I think it is pretty clear i need to do a
replacement.

Here is my question. Would this be covered under warranty? Soon after
purchasing this car I had to get the front springs replaced because of all
the clunking and bottoming out I was doing on small imperfections in the
road or just going up a typical driveway. Could this current issue of the
blown shock (and what is your estimation, is this shock blown?) be related
to the earlier issue of the bad springs?

tia.
