Hi,
I have a set of RockShox Tora on my Rockhopper and have a slight leak where the rebound adjustment is.

Being new to this mountain bike lark, could someone tell me if this is anything to worry about? The bikes going in for it's first service probably this week so is it something thay can fix easily and I'll never have to worry again?
Thanks.

    How much oil? Sometimes there is a little residual oil that leaks out of there. If leaking around the bolt then could be from the oil bath and it needs nipping up, or the crush washer repalcing.

    Hmmm, couple of drips a day??? Not much granted but I thought non would be the norm.
    Just checked it out and the bolt is tight so i'll see how it goes and mention it to the shop.

    Cheers

    hello, i've just come on to ask the same question,
    3 month old tora 289, this leak seems to be a little more than a few drips but it stops on its own
    i first noticed it 2 weeks ago then nothing untill last night,now its fine.

    Sounds like the crush washer as there is not much else down there that could be leaking.
