It's well known in the U.K. motor trade that large tyre firm employees are encouraged to squirt oil on struts and shocks in order to sell more of them. If I were you , I'd wipe off the oil and check the strut over a couple of weeks to see if it leaks any more, or take the car to a mechanic you can trust. Tyre dealers are, in my (and many other peoples) opinion, about as honest as politicians.
