I wouldn't say it is common, but yes, other owners have suffered oil leaks from those air shocks, so don't feel alone! They are readily available secondhand, but there are far superior alternative brands available, which can transform your ride quality. There is an almost endless number of threads about alternative shocks, one of the most popular subjects in here.

I had that issue recently and seeing as I just got it a couple weeks before and already spent over my budget, I didn't want to upgrade yet. So I did what we always did on our dirtbike forks when they started leaking. I took the thinnest feeler gauge that I could force between the shock seal and the shock tube and once inserted, positioned the gauge at an angle and was able to push it around the tube and pull out some dirt. The boot was torn allowing dirt to get in so I taped it up. Hasn't leaked since.
