Collecting dirt? Wipe it off when on the hoist. They can seep for years that doesn’t get worse.
Puddle under that corner of the car overnight? It is time.
Avoid Arnott... failure rate is ridiculous.
My choice is Bilstein or MB brand new.
FCP Euro... There are others.

How much of a leak? I think it has been weeping for 5 years - I only noticed replacing wheels this week.

Puddle under that corner of the car overnight? It is time. No puddle
Avoid Arnott... failure rate is ridiculous. Good to know

Pull that wheel and get busy with a roll of paper towels.
Any sloppy body motions from the rear over bumps?
Vibration at high speeds... not felt in steering (that would be front).... Will feel as multiple frequencies of shake simultaneously..... This is a dead shock. The ABC strut has the damper (shock) built into it.
Be sure to top up ABC oil as needed.
What year and how many miles?
