I noticed this while changing wheels several weeks ago. Front passenger side strut is coated in oil...all the other corners are perfectly dry. It also squeeks when going over large bumps at low speeds, clunks at higher speeds. Only the front pass. corner does this.

Sounds like its time to have a dealer check it out. You still riding stock suspension?

Definitely. Shouldn't be happening so soon.

Was just browsing 3GWRX ... there are 5-6 other people with pre-mature strut failure...majority of them are on the front passenger side. I wonder why that is? I can't think of anything that might cause one side over another to fail first.

Make sure you get an alignment under warranty too :)
