So I bought a used tss shock and everything looks good but I spun off the air fill cap and thought I'd do a quick check on pressure and some oil came out when I pushed the Schrader valve...any thoughts on this?

Probably oil from assembly. Little bit of lube goes a long way. As long as it's holding pressure I wouldn't worry to much unless it's filled right up with oil

That’s pretty normal, I always put in a little bit of oil on top of the air side of the piston on all my rebuilds. Just don’t every compress the shock with out any reasonable psi in the air chamber.
