I just installed Bilatein HD's on my front this weekend. Out of the box, each had small blobs of red grease around the base of the sliding shaft and more red grease on the shaft. I took that to be normal; in fact, if I remember correctly, the instructions provided with the shock cautioned against removing this grease. Like Dickster said, they're gas filled - if they leaked, they'd leak gas and once the gas was gone they'd just collapse. Mine worked fine once installed - red grease notwithstanding, they maintained full pressure and actually lifted the car about 3/4". If it were me, I wouldn't worry about it. You could always call Bilstein, too - they are supposed to be good on customer service.
