If the strut is leaking oil then you won't have much damping on that corner, are you noticing ride/handling symptoms too or only noises? Most of that stuff I put on new and should not be breaking down yet. Struts maybe since they've seen a lot of miles already but balljoints for sure should be fine....

It does have the diesel front springs but the strut inserts are all the same either way.

As for the noises, have you checked to see if the big gland nut that holds the shock insert into the strut tube is tight? Sometimes those will loosen up and make bad noises as the shock jumps up and down inside the tube...
