Don't know exactly which shocks they are. Whatever came on it out of the box.
I'm assuming the water might be air bubbles, and grunge can only get into the shocks in two places, the cap or the shaft and the latter being where I'd inspect my O-Rings and as mentioned earlier, refer to manual to ensure the o-rings and washers are installed in the correct order. The shaft is what moves in and out hence the most likely way for "grunge" to get into the shock, maybe a split o-ring.
