Trouble with Bilsteins

Has anyone had any trouble with their Bilstein shocks? My rear shocks have turned black with what I think is a light oil and dirt. Has anyone had problems with them leaking?

How old are they? Are you sure they aren't covered with oil from somewhere else? Is the under side of the truck covered too. I just put some one a few weeks ago and haven't had any problems yet.

Are they under some kind of warranty?

They are about a year and a half old. There is nothing else under my truck dirt or covered in grease.
