Angry Are Dyna shocks covered under warranty?

I noticed a small spot of oil from time to time in the past 7-10 days on my garage floor. It was from the rear of my bike. I finally located the problem. It appears to be coming from the right rear shock (boy I'll feel stupid if the rear shocks don't use oil)...

Does you know if this is something covered under warranty? I'll dig out my paperwork and give it a read, but if anyone is familiar and can throw me some knowledge I'd appreciate it.

Well then it's lube with the consistency of oil. It's coming out from right above the bottom mount up under the chrome piece:




Last night when I parked, I caught a drip right away on some paper towels. I wiped it off and there was just a little bit of residue, but I have a feeling if I go ride that's when it starts to leak more as the shocks are used. You can see how it soaked into the paper towel; it's like a light weight oil texture:
