need help with strut question

I posted this in the 6th gen forum but no one replied:

Last weekend I changed the suspension on the maxima. I went with the kyb gr2s and progress springs all the way around. after a couple days of driving I noticed that whenever I hit a bump or a slight imperfection in the road, the car feels like it shifts(hydroplanes) a bit. It is not a good feeling at all, like i have no control for that split second. So i looked at the rear of the car and bounced it up and down and noticed that both rear struts are leaking oil. Is that normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated because the wife is scared to death of driving the car now.

If they are leaking oil, they are blown. Did you get them new or used?
