Was just curious if the shocks being blown out one side could cause this or if I should just blame terrain it's a Smaller 10th scale truck. It isn't jumped just tossed a few times when it wipes out so idk how the oil could leaked out

I'd say it's a combination of things causing truck to dance around.

If I recall, the Blackouts have sealed diffs. That's great! But I'm sure they don't come filled with anything other than grease. Filling the diffs with something like 30k ~ 50k diff fluid, and I think you will see a difference in power being put down.
