It almost looks like part of the shock body is wet. If that's so and it's not just a shadow in the picture i'd look at the shock seal.

Looks like just general dampness from water... the bottom of the shock is dry, the brake caliper is on the opposite side of things and on the other side of the steering knuckle.

I mean the stock shocks kind of suck, and those are most certainly original and worn out, but don't think they are leaking.

Notice also the sway bar seems a little damp to the left of the picture too.
