I found out today that my rear shock is having some leaking. Does that mean the shock needs to be replaced or bushing?

Leaking shock absorbers are common on any car. They are replaced as an assembly. Shock absorbers and struts are always replaced in pairs to insure both side of the car bounce and rebound evenly.
