Leaky forks ?

Hi guys

A friend of mine has been on holiday for a couple of weeks and has come back to find a couple of drops of oil on the bottom of the right fork leg, where the rebound adjuster is . He has a rock shox Tora fork. His bike was stored right side up, on its two wheels .... (I've had some issues when my bike was inadvertantly stored upright and got some leakage from the o-ring at the stanchion...coming back on the train from the gong ride.

Apparently its only one or two drops.

Any thoughts from the highly tech literate crew out there ?

But when I'd get oil leaks on my old Marzzochi Z1 I'd have all the seals replaced and the oil changed which would fix it.

tORA

From memory the tora has a bleed port at the bottom for changing oil. Double check it is tight.

Other wise it could be an o ring there or at the rebound adjuster. They use a one uses crush washer, again from memory not 100% sure but tech manually are available from the SRAm site
