There's a set of 2010 'zocchi 55R forks on my new bike. I've done about 15 miles on them and I noticed tonight that there's oil leaking out from the rebound adjuster. Before I send them back for warranty work I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding them and they're definitely broken.
There's an air preload with the air valve on the top of the right hand leg. On the bottom of that leg is the rebound adjuster. I can press the rebound adjuster down by about 1mm and doing that causes air and oil to leak out. I'm assuming that's not supposed to happen? It seems weird that depressing the rebound knob would release the air but you never know with those wacky Italians...
