I took my car to Ted Weins for an oil change and they give the car an inspection for other problems and the guy told me my rear shocks were leaking. I asked leaking air and he said no leaking fluid. Is this possible as there is not any drops of fluid from the car on my garage floor

yes, the shocks may be leaking. oil from shocks leak from their cylinders and is visable on the shock itself. in most cases ,oil from shocks "weep" and road dirt will stick to this oil making your shocks look a little furry. i would inspect for yourself leaking shocks are easy to detect-- bring a flashlight
