White fluid on suspension turrets
Discussion
I opened the bonnet yesterday for a quick fluid check and immediately noticed some white fluid around the top of both turrets. Just looked like a spoonful had spurted out of the top of the mount of each. I seem to recall seeing this on various cars over the years but never focussed on it. Now I can't recall how long it has been there. However on the basis that it was the first thing I noticed I assume it is new.
What is it and do I need to do anything?
Thanks in advance
Honda S2000 by the way

I have had the car for about a year and done 10,000 miles or so. Does not look like grease and if it was shock/fork oil it must be heavily water contaminated to lather up like that. I will have a look at the struts from underneath and report back. If it is a failure of the shock seals then it just seems odd to both go at the same time. not as if I have smashed into a speed bump at high speed and popped the struts!
I think Composite Guru has it.
Having another look in the light of the above I think that it has been there for ages and I just haven't seen it. Looking at the overspray pattern it is now consistent with someone standing at the front of the car and spraying the turrets.
Thanks for your help. A better result than new dampers.

I've had 2 S2000 in the past and knew what you were talking about straight away. Having another look in the light of the above I think that it has been there for ages and I just haven't seen it.
