Oil at bottom of shock

I've got oil coming from around the bottom of the O/S front shock, they are only about a year old Avos that I brought from brickwerks. Does anyone know what would be causing this, if it's repairable and if this is a common problem? The N/S one is fine.

Well spoke to brickwerks and they've said to send it back. Can anyone tell me if it'll be ok if I take the shock off then drop the van back down on it's wheels while I wait for the replacement? The reason I ask is I fly out on holiday next Friday for 2 weeks and I don't want to leave the van up on stands as some little got will probably do something to the old girl.
