I wonder how big a hammer it would take to help them fall off? 👀
Not big at all I'm guessing.
When I removed mine to put the Eibach's on, I took one and just kinda barely tossed it across the shop floor to get it out of my way.... the reservoir flew off of it instantly lol

Meh whats the big deal they are "weeping" a little fluid.
Agreed on the weeping, my ‘23 Fox 3.0 set shows a bit of weep and they’ve been beat the heck out of. That weep won’t affect performance - and no warranty on the yellow B’s until they fall apart according to others here, To the OP, if he’s worried about it then the easiest way is to replace them cheaply with a non-manufacturing crisis spec/build shock now. Sorry but it’s that way with a lot of things.

It seems like shocks are leaking or corroded. What do you think is this normal or definitely look into warranty?

Ive owned many cars/truck and have never had shocks this bad! Had the right rear reservoir fall off my '21 Badlands at around 20k. That one was replaced under warranty. Now the left rear leaked out at 33k and the reservoir is barely attached. Im out of 3/36 but do have the Ford Premium Care plan but that doesnt cover shocks...go figure. Im still going to pursue a replacement and if they deny it I will go and buy the Bilstein 6100's. They seem to have good reviews.
