Help! My Fox Float RLs are leaking from the non-brake side seals. After a 2 hour ride, there was dirt residue on the stanchion and a dribble running down the lower. They were professionally serviced earlier in the year and have only been used a handful of times since. They've been stored upside down for a few weeks since last used. What's likely to be the drama? Are the seals screwed or is it just that the foam ring was fully saturated?

Cheers.

Meant to say that the oil looked green rather than blue. I'm thinking that's not great news...

Noticed that the lock out wasn't working either until I wound the rebound fully in a bounced a few times which resulted in some sucking and gurgling sounds from the internals (the forks, not mine). Seems to have fixed the lock out issue. No idea about the original problem.

Cool. Looks like I'll be buying some fox fluid tomorrow.
