Coilover Oil on Adjustment Knob

Coilover Oil on Adjustment ****
I was just adjusting my rear right JIC Cross coilover in preparation for a track day tomorrow and noticed my fingers were covered in light oil.
I pulled off the airbox and there was a thin film with a few drops of oil around the adjustment **** and nut.
The left rear and fronts were completely dry.
There were a few hoses above the right rear coilover (not sure what they are) but there were no other signs of oil anywhere so I am 98% sure the oil is from the coilover.
Is this a problem?

Leaking coilovers will directly affect handling, especially under hard cornering, as they will not travel properly. I had a similar leaking issue with my H&R Coilovers on the track and the corner workers mentioned that my front end was not planting, just seemed to 'bob' up and down. Sent mine back to H&R for rebuilding.
