Checked the air pressure and it was low but quite a bit of oil in air chamber which squirted out of the valve

suspect a seal has gone?

is this likely to be serviceable?

thanks

It'll be the oil level. You can do it yourself - the videos on the SRAM site are excellent. But you need the SRAM measuring tube or a copy of one to get the oil levels right.

It might just need bled but mine has just gone back to SRAM for this very reason.

Yep - two of mine did this and it was fairly easy to top up the oil which fixed them..

A bleed WILL NOT fix this known problem.
A service will.

Warranty it if you have the option. You will likely get a new post back.

Get it serviced. Either yourself or by TFTuned, Loco etc.
