Default Is this leaking?

1st Shop said my struts were leaking and would need immediate replacement for about $5k (all), 2nd opinion I got said they were weeping and they weren't bad. I'm totally lost now. Any opinions? Quote at bottom. Thanks!

If any of struts is leaking, you need to replace it. And it is better to do it in pairs. The price seems to be a little high...

Anfanger is right you should replace in pairs, he's also right about that price, both for parts and for the repair. My shocks, for all 4 oem on an AWD with everything but the springs was close to 1K and about 500 for installation. Looking at the prices online looks like there hasn't been a huge change.
