Default Oil splattered on wheel????

I think I blew a shock. There's oil splattered all over the inside of my front passenger side wheel and it spread all across the rocker panel to the rear fender. At first I thought I busted the CV Boot but then I realized it was to thin. It's literally oil. The only thing I can think of is that it's a blown shock but I've never had a shock literally....BLOW on me...not like this at least :wtf:

Mine finally blew as well. 2 years on super low setting and stiff springs will do it. DO NOT drive around on blown struts. It may have very bad consequences.
