Default Oil leaking from rear strut?

I just finished washing my 93 EG SI and noticed oil or something leaking from my rear passenger side strut.

Is it blown or something?

Yes, buy 2 rear ones. They should be replaced in pairs or all 4. Are they the stock oe ones or aftermarkets?

Damn, that sucks. Money is tight right now.

Can I ride it out for a while, or should I replace ASAP?

Front are tokico blues, rear are stock.

U can probably ride it out but your ride will continue to deteriorate until the shock has no oil left in it. Why did you install new shocks when you had springs installed?
