creak and leak in rear suspension

Tonight on my way home I noticed a problem. I looked in my rear view mirror and noticed alot of what looked like water spray on the rear window. It wasnt water. It was an oily substance. I then decided to investigate, I looked under the car to find something hanging. It was the rubber cover to the lower bolt assembly of the right rear shock. There was also a collection of fresh oil what looks like the oil that is put into shocks. Has anyone else had this problem?? Is it a bad cylinder? a bad shock?
I am going in to mini of concord tomorrow for a look see.
David if you are out there please help...
