Default Strut wear with S Techs

Hey guys this is my first post before I hopefully make a build thread soon! my car is basically new it's got 7000 miles on it and I was wondering how long my stock struts are going to last before they blow out with the lowering spring?

I'm on trd's and my rear struts are starting to leak fluids in very very small amounts at 50k. Occasional driving on pretty rough roads around Los Angeles. Could be normal wear because I remember seeing somewhere that struts should be changed around 50k miles.

I can see that. S-Techs are pretty damn aggressive for OEM struts. I wonder if I'll make it to 60-80k with my Megan springs...

It is only one leaking, so my guess is that it just has a defect but of course it is after warranty is up.
