[Closed] RockShox Recon leaking oil question....

Recently serviced a pair of 2007 Recon coil u-turns. Now they're leaking oil out of both legs. They don't as far as I recoil have the black oil seals in.

So, if I replace the dust seals will that stop it? Have I simply over filled them with oil? (don't recon so).

The stanchions are in perfect condition.

What should I try first?

Where are they leaking from, the top at the seals or the bottom at the bolts?

More info needed.

Top of the seals.

RS recommend a seal change with every service. You can get away with not doing so if you are careful & they are not too old.

Sounds like yours are due a change.
