Significant Technical Input
Drop your knee on each corner of the bumper and bounce. If the car bounces more than once the strut is weak. A little film of oil on the outside of the strut is normal and o.k. If there is more than that I'd clean them up with some brake clean and/or use the car wash. Get the car re-inspected, then replace them as finances allow.
