A3 Quattro 2003 8L6 - unidentified oil leak from the rear suspension

[Chainik]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.]

I noticed a small oil leak from around the rear left suspension in two places.

Here are some pictures...

Number 1 - Hose leak (this is a picture from ElsaWin), red circle showing where the oil is leaking from to help ID my own photo below:




The same place photographed from under my car (notice oil leak and popped out hose):



When I tried to wipe the leak (very gently), the hose actually popped out of it's housing as shown in the picture. The same hose on the opposite side is securely connected and doesn't disconnect that easy. I presume the hose connection is faulty. I put it back in the hole for now, where it is currently loose...


Number 2 - The other place where I noticed some oil accumulating is here, near a large rubber grommet:



The oil is actually dripping out of the little hole which I've circled.


Could anyone shed some light on what could this possible be and whether I should get it looked at professionally or is it something easily fixable at home?

Could it be a rear shock absorber leaking - this is the only thing I can think of...

Cheers!
