Hi,

I think I might have a oil leak from my 2019 RTC3 lyrik 180mm,from under the compression adjustment cap on the damper side at top of fork. It only seems to be very slight. I removed the lsc screw and wiped clean but the small amount of oil slowly returns after a few rides. Has anybody else had this issue, and is it even an issue or normal, or am I being silly? If it is, what’s the plan of action to getting it fixed?

Thanks all. 👍

Compression needle O ring I should think. Easy to access. Lookup how to bleed a charger damper. you'll be able to see the needle since it's an integral part of the bleed.process.

I would send it in for warranty (if its less than 2 years old and you have proof of purchase.

Rockshox dont sell spare parts or seals for the top of the Charger 2 damper (Original Charger damper was fully serviceable).

DIY fixes

If you google search you will find more threads, 2.1 damper apparently fixes it. Push have instructions to partially dismantle to fit a HC97.
