Oil leaking out of forks...

As the title says, rode my bike for the first time tonight since putting it back together after a week away in the Alps, and realised half way around that oil is p!ssing out of my forks (Fox) :?
They are about a year old and - to be fair - have been ridden a lot and had a fair old battering on hols last week. General consensus seems to be that the seals have gone - is this is a bike shop job, or a send off to Mojo proper job?
They seem to be working ok (for the time being) - just oil leaking everywhere

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away....

This won't be the correct terminology, but from where the stantion actually slides inside the forks. Does that make sense?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away....

Seals have gone, send to MOJO or TF t who will tune the forks to your weight and intended use. Service starts from about £90 and if your are feeling flush get a PUSH tune at the same time, makes a whole world of difference to the forks.2008 Kona Dawg Deluxe http://s1187.photobucket.com/albums/z39 ... luxe%2008/

Yup and service them more often! lol
You should check your seals regular on Fox forks, and its good to have it properely services once a year for keeping it going(all this can be done yourself if your confident)
Mojo normally gets forks turned round in a day or two though there very good, just up the road by me

Mojo where quoting 3 week turn around a few weeks back so might be worth checking0
