So a couple days ago I saw a small puddle of oil under the driver' side of my car. I cleaned it up and waited another day. The next day there was only a tiny spot of oil. I've narrowed it down to the left strut as there's oil residue on the strut and transverse link. The seal must be broken.

Since I removed & installed the strut myself and took them to Nissan to have the springs swapped, I'm assuming Nissan is going to say I messed with it and it's not their fault. Really pissed right now. Especially since I only took it to them because I wanted it done right.

Update #1: Well, I managed to get them to warranty the shock. So, it looks like I'll get this corrected for free, which I did not expect. I'm consistently impressed with how well this dealership treats me.

Update #2: Nissan replaced my driver's side strut. I told them when I took it in that they should inspect the other side. Sure enough, it was leaking as well. So they're fixing that now for free. I just really hope this is the end of it.
