Take a paper towel and clean the shaft along with the area where the shaft enters the shock body. Check it again in a couple days. If it is wet then It's probably just a failing seal. Many shocks weep a little oil, but sometimes it can be hard to determine what is excessive. Is there any oil on the top inch of the shock body? Someone on TW had a Boss fail within days of install so this isn't the first.

Is there a nitrogen port or valve on those, if so do you have a way to check the psi? Or are they disposable shocks akin to the Bilstein 5100's they spec in everything else.
 
You could potentially feel vibration if the shock is completely done but it's unlikely.
But ya your shock is done.
 
Hey thanks guys for the tips appreciate the response!!
I was also emailing the guys at toytec, and they are gonna send me a brand new coilover. They where very fast and apologized for the inconvenience. I did have to send them a few pictures as it did get worst.

I'm just happy they corrected the problem and stood true to there warranty!!

Toytec is pretty damned good at customer service, in my experience. I am very happy with them and, accordingly, I will be ordering more products from them!
 
a friend of mine just found that his BOSS shocks are leaking too on his tacoma.. i told him to definitely give them a call
