Clunking sound from underneath driver side and I have replaced the CV axles and the struts were done just the front. What is the issue? I recently look at the driver strut and I think it leaking.

Yep, some of the less expensive replacement parts go out pretty fast or are defective out of the box. If the strut is leaking that is a sign it is bad. I would get a replacement for it. Here is a guide to help with the problem and I have included instructions in the images below for your car:

The axles did pop out but the noise wasn't as bad before I replaced the CV axles I think I have to replace the ball joints too.
