Hi - new to all this so go easy on me!
I have some brand new RockShox XC30 forks (just bought Spesh Rockhopper) and I am seeing a small amount of oil on the left hand fork on the silver top post that travels down/up in to the lower part of the fork. It's enough oil to cause a line of oil going down, wiped away and its back a little later.
Is this usual or could I have a bit of an oil dampner leak going on?
Thanks for any advice and help,
Cheers
Andy

That is fine, it's just seal lubrication. It's why they have to very occasionally be serviced (among other reasons ofcourse).0

Also new forks do it a lot to begin with then it gradually becomes less as they break in.0

Thats great, thanks, I did wonder if was just because they are new and they are getting rid of excess lube, phew!
Cheers for your help, you have put my mind at rest!
