Engine leaks a small amount of oil around the head and recently had struts, the rear struts thump when I hit a small bump in the road. James Kelso

When you had the struts replaced did you also have the sway bar end links and bushings replaced? I find most times that sway bar end links and or bushings are what is causing the thump over bumps and that in fact the struts are not. Also is the oil leaking from the head or the valve cover?
