Has anyone had a leak on a damper whilst the car has been parked up in a garage for a few weeks.

How much of a puddle could/should i expect?

None. At least you know that damper is knackered - if you'd been driving the car and spread the oil around it might not be so obvious and you might not have spotted it.

A damper holds a surprising amount of oil .. they usually go when in the full droop position for some reason .. many times I've had a car on a ramp with a slightly leaking damper, go for a quick coffee and when you come back it's emptied it's entire contents onto the floor in a matter of minutes!!
