[Closed] Monarch Plus oily shaft

Had my Monarch Plus for about six weeks, brand new from bike-discount, probably only four or five rides. Noticed yesterday that it's weeping oil on to the shaft.

Is this normal? Hoping that it's just been overfilled and it's been doing it the whole time but I've only noticed recently with the dry conditions causing it to attract dust.

Pic below was take after I'd cleaned it off at home then rode it round the pump track with my young lad on his Oset for only about an hour, therefore nothing excessive.

Similar experiences/words of advice appreciated.

I have that on my debonair, a bit is normal apparently (can't really see how much on yours) if its dripping then its not normal.
