When I say leaking XREAS I mean the shocks, yes.
When I say repair, well, at the Toyota dealership they didn't even quote a repair, they quoted replacement of the XREAS shocks with the stock 4runner SR5 suspension because they said repair was going to be expensive.
My sense of the expense was that they had to replace the shocks which they do in pairs - in my case all 4 - and that they then had to recharge the system. Because it's a system with fluid, if the fluid goes it needs to be replaced as does the gas charge.
I don't know if there are any cheaper replacement XREAS shocks other than OEM.
