Problem with my KONI's? (with Pics and details) Help is appreciated!
 
Hey, the FD that I bought has KONI adjustable-dampeners on it and the front tires (Bridgestone Potenza S-03's) seem to be touching the inside of the front-fenders on hard turns, curling the metal outwards (as can be seen in the pics).

What is strange is the front driver's-side fender is lowest to the tire (when all 4 dampeneres are adjusted to the same level). I also observed when trying to adjust the dampeners with the KONI-knob that the front driver's-side rod leaked a bit of oil when I began the adjustments (the small oil-leak was brief and ceased after several seconds); the oil was transparent, odorous, and of thin consistency (there was no oil-leak from the other 3 rods).

My question is why is the front driver's-side lower than the others? (the car has a clean title)

Is the small oil-leak from the front driver's-side dampener abnormal?

How can I fix the front dampeners so that they are of equal height and no longer touch the inside of the fenders? (without down-sizing my front tires)
