I have a fox 32 talas x with the terralogic damper and it has just started leaking oil from the top of the right leg, essentialy when the fork depresses it brings oil up with it on the rebound, this is the leg that has the rebound damping on it, does it sound serious, should i stop riding it - there has been no loss of performance as of yet, and assuming it needs a service at the very least TF tuned, Mojo or attempt DIY? cheers.

    How much oil?

    Pics?

    some oil on the fork stanchions is normal, however lots of oil dripping down the leg isn't.

    When the bike isn't being used then no oil, it just comes up on the rebound, but when it does it does drip down the leg there's that much, i'm probably losing a couple of teaspoons of oil per ride.

    Does sound like they need some attention. I'm no fork expert, so can't tell you what part has gone wrong, but one of the forum fork guru's will know

    There are strip down guides on the web, but if you have the cash & aren't that mechanically minded send em off to TFTuned, they will come back better than new
