Just checked the air pressures on my Pikes, and there was a skooshette of oil through the lower valve.

Should I worry about it? Will I die?

You certainly will, but I wouldn't worry about the oil.

Just make check that there is a bit still in the air chambers next time you service (keeps the o-rings sweet)

I've not used the bike in about six months so it may just be some seepage. Got an epic downhill on the cards for the weekend, so just wanted to make sure it was nowt serious, thanks.

Did you turn the bike upside down to do the negative air?
