Default Car floating like on ocean.

I have nasty feeling when driving car.
When i hit depression on the road with rear left wheel, I can feel that just after this depression shock is slightly longer than usually, and it pushes my car into the right (but very slightly) and back wobble a litte.

When i hit some bums with rear left wheel i can feel that shock is probably shorter and it wobbles in different manner and i hear like there is guy in book and hits metal with some torch.

Additionally there is lots of oil on my parking place near rear left wheel.
Does it mean there is something bad with shock?
Do shocks have oil in there? I thought there is air inside.

Who near Gaydon/Coventry is able to repair it?

Hello, Please provide the year and mileage of a car when you post. It sure sounds like your shocks and struts are gone. Yes, there's oil in them. They're spent even before you see a leak. Kira

How much could it cost?
All together this car need to have replaced this + dim + breaking bads + caliper, does it make any sense to deal with it or bettery buy new one?

I will just miss 15k miles timing belt and oil in engine.
