Thought I had an oil leak ! Lower arm bushes?
I jacked the car up earlier to check the front brakes (brake judder when braking from speed).
As I lifted the NS, I could see what I thought was oil dripping from underneath. Very black, like engine oil.
I rushed to get something to catch it in, but when I looked properly, it appeared to be coming from the lower arm, rear bush? It didn't smell like oil, was more like very black water.
Any ideas? I haven't driven through water recently, It hasn't even rained on the car for more than a week.

The rear bush on the front lower suspension arms is hydraulic. Probably time to take a closer look at it and replace it.
