3. A fluid leakage serious enough to indicate that the fluid seal of a shock absorber has failed.

Yes, this is a very pedantic point in the rules, because you may get a very small, but acceptable, leakage past a piston rod type seal, but, typically, no more than a few drops of oil over the lifetime of the damper. You need to be looking very closely to see it!
If, however, you can see oil running down the side of the damper tube, or a damp patch in the dust around the top of damper tube, then it's clear that the seal has failed.
I would be very surprised indeed if the OP has detected an acceptable leak - it's safe to say that the dampers should be changed.
