I'm sure you figured out..fluid belongs on the inside.

If it's wet on the outside, grab the manual and follow the instructions..pretty simple to rebuild shocks.

I agree with Doug, after you get your manual, you may want to tear into them. I rebuilt mine awhile back on my project SX. It was my first time doing a set, and it wasnt all that hard to do.
The seals are all still available from Honda still. Once mine were done there was an amazing difference in ride.
