Hi

My fox 36 forks are leaking and I’m wondering if anyone could offer any help in resolving it.

The oil is coming from under the rebound knob where the grub screw sits on the flat.

I’d add some pictures but I’m not sure how to on mobile

Any ideas?

Possibly leaking from the crush-washer under the nut, you could try nipping the nut a little tighter (see Fox's guide for performing a lower's service for details on how tight etc.)

I should’ve mentioned that I thought it was the crush washer so I performed a lower leg service

It’s the same if not worse now there’s more oil in it..

Thanks for the suggestion though

If it's not the crush washer, i'd guess it's coming from the damper assembly. I'd speak to somebody such as Fox Service Centre, or J-tech, who know their way around these forks for a better idea of likely causes and fixes.
