Default Lexus Powertrain warranty

Wassup CL
Have a ? Concerning the warranty..have a 2010 is250 with 47k on it and as i was reading thru the warranty section it seems we r covered for 7yrs 70k miles..
My car is dropped on teins and yesterday as i was rotating my tires i notice a lil sippage of frease from my left boot..well since car is still under warranty i was hoping dealership replace the boot..
Should i put my stock springs back on so that the dealership doesnt try to say that its b/c i dropped the car hence y my boot is leaking or should i leave it?
We all know how stealerships r and was wanting to get u guys/gals input!
Thanx

Those cover under the Basic Warranty. Also, your car is lower with aftermarket springs which known for causing premature failure of OEM struts so they might try to deny warranty.
Does hurt to try

In 2012 I took my old 07 IS250 AWD in for a routine wheel alignment, the service adviser told me my CV boots were leaking. It was covered under the Powertrain warranty and I didn't have to pay for anything except for the alignment which I was getting done. I was lowered on F-sport Springs and stock shocks at the time.
