Oil on Struts

I had my tires rotated today (Les Schwab) and the service advisor noted oil on both struts. He suggested that I have the dealership take a look, as it appeared to be more than the usual amount of oil. He did mention that some higher performance cars may have more oil present.

The car's handling hasn't change and the tire wear is uniform. I just hit 38,000 on my 2005. Has anyone else noted oil on there struts? I'd appreciate some advice as I'm hitting the road for Thanksgiving and may not be able to get to the dealership before the holiday.

If the struts are blown, would that be a warranty issue?

It is a warranty issue if your springs are stock.
