    Cool 2013 Audi A4 Rear subframe bushing leaking?

    Hi guys:

    I lifted my car today to lubricate all my rubber bushings and noticed that my left rear sub-frame bushing is leaking grease and the other side is dry, is that leaking oil?Coincidently, when I drove my car lately, I could hear some squeaking noise come from left rear side. my car is 2013, in service date is Jan, 2013, current miles: 45000KM, looks so weird? will this be covered under warranty?

    thanks guys

    Picture 1 and 3 is my left rear side bushing
    Picture 2 is my right rear side busing

    PS:wet stuff on right side bushing is silicone spary [IMG] [/IMG]

    I can't imagine that the bushing is filled with fluid like a motormount would be, however not sure what it might be otherwise, maybe rear axle seal leak? It's tough to say

    It's definitely NOT the bush, as the subframe bushes are not filled with any fluid. Are you sure it's oil and not just water?

    Who lubricates their chassis bushings?????....this isn't a Model T.......these are all bonded bushings, there is no rubber-to-metal sliding/rotating going on......
