Following on from this thread .......

http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/is-my-shock-borked

I wiped the shock off two days ago and yet again the shock shaft is covered in oil.

I decided to undo the air can and have a look inside and its all pretty wet but my main concern was the air bubbles coming from around the shaft in the middle......

Im guessing somethings not right so what are my options??

The bike is a 2015 Giant Trance bought secondhand but I have the original receipt?

Any ideas?

Learn to use macro? 😆

N2 leak I'd guess. leave it unassembled - i.e. don't put the can back on as if you pump it back up and the N2 keeps leaking it might overpressurise

Do it. At least you won't have to 'shop the lube in.
