I’m noticing what looks like an oil leak on the rear suspension of my 2024 Raptor R. Is this something I should be worried about?
It does look like there’s some leaking.
What exactly are you asking about? If you mean the shocks, those look like the normal dual valves.

I think OP is referring to the small amount of oil weeping out and collecting dust where the top cap threads onto the shock body, as well as at the damping adjustment fitting.

Good point. That’s not normal for a 2024. If you haven’t been doing heavy off-roading, you should definitely bring this up with the dealership.

Does the ride feel any different? If the shocks are losing nitrogen, it might not be obvious on the road, but during fast off-roading, the ride could feel harsh and worsen over time. Heat and cavitation in the oil would reduce damping.

I’ve seen a YouTube video about this happening with these shocks. Take it in for a warranty claim—they should replace them.
No, it’s not normal.
Definitely not normal. Also, it’s not normal because it’s not parked in my garage!
Take it in under warranty.
It’s hard to say without more info, but if it’s a leak, I’d get it checked ASAP.
