Hey all just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

I noticed it a few days ago when I was driving about 70mph on an onramp to an interstate and nearly spun out when I hit a pretty good sized bump. i looked under the car when I got home and found the passenger side rear shock was leaking oil.

I'm taking it into the dealer in the morning to have it looked at, but it concerns me that a car with just barely 10,000 miles has already busted a shock. I guess it's our awesome roads here in Lafayette

My front right shock (with leak) was replaced at 25K miles last month. The other three seem fine.

Left rear replaced at 3000 mi, leaking again, right front leaking at 10,000 miles replaced. I am looking very seriously at the new HKS coilover system. 3 shocks in 16,000 miles is a bit much.
