Does anyone know what the problem maybe here, for sometime now I have noticed - particularly when I have people in the back seats - that the car sits very low on the driver side rear, the wheel is right inside the arch when on the other side I can get a couple of fingers between tyre & arch, with no rear weight it is not as noticeable but I can still see it.

The car rides fine with no funny noises or bumps either round corners or on the straights.

I have been told that the shock absorber shows some signs of leaking, would this cause this problem, I thought the shockers were primarily for damping - I don't want to go and change them if it is something other on the suspension that is causing this.
