Default Leaky shock

Ok just finished installing my headers, catted x pipe and rear pipes, I noticed the driverside rear shock is covered in oil. I have an 05 with the base suspension, with the widebooty with 50,000 miles. Has anyone had this issue? The car seems to drive fine, not bumpy or anything. What after market shocks would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

If you need something to hold you over I have my base shocks off my 07 that came off at 3K. Pay the shipping and $50 for all four? They're light so they won't cost much to ship.
