leaky rear shock Venture 2000

After 10,000 miles the rear shock stated leaking. I am not sure where the leak is from. I would find a 4" diameter circule of oil under the rear shock when I leave the bike parked for 2 or 3 weeks. The rear shock is dirty with oil.
I think the rear shock has remote reservoir. So I am not sure if the problem is busted oil seal or the remote reservoir plumming is leaky.

Should I just go a head and order the rear shock? Or is there any chance I can fix something in that area if I open it up and look? Where I live, it would take couple of months to get the part if I order it now.

Thanks
