My 2012 SID seems to have developed a leak at the compression damper cap, somewhere under the remote lock out attachment.

Is this likely to just be a seal? or something more sinister. Annoyingly just had a lower leg service at the LBS and new seal kit...

I've only noticed as the bike is stored vertically.

I took it back to the shop. They had it stored vertically for a week and put a new seal on. No leak.

I take it for one ride of moderate XC. It is leaking again. so am guessing that it may be doing so under pressure of the fork moving.

Is this a job for TF or something much simpler?
