Default Ksport Coil-over Question

Ok so i took my Ksports off today to play around with them and see if i could get them to go a little lower and when i removed the bottom mount from the shock body there was some oil type liquid down in there...

is the shock blown???

if it's oil... yeah, it's prolly blown... but if it's just dirty water, you're fine... the water prolly just got in there from rain or whatever. One of my coilovers (although they're not K-Sports) had the same dark water in the lower mount.
