Forks

[twangin4u]

I got oil leaking slowly out the bottom of my right fork. Not the valve that leads to the brakes, but coming from underneath where the axle bolt goes through. I looked at the parts diagram but can't really see where oil could be coming out from anywhere around there. Will seals fix it?

The bottom of the forks have a bolt and sealing washer. If the bolt has lost its torque and is weeping then you will need to open the forks up. Might as well rebuild it if you need to open them up.

Look at #18 and #22

Oh yes. I see. I've noticed oil coming out of the top at the dust seal to so definitely will be rebuilding them.
Thanks
