There is no 'how bad' on a shock leak.

If it's leaking it's done. Time to rebuild or replace.

And unless you're just keeping a beater patched up (BTDT) I'd replace at least both sides of the same axle. Maybe all 4 if the mileage indicates that would be practical.

As said above, it's done. Any leak = failure.
The spacer lift isn't helping either.
