Took my first ride out in the desert near Ransdburg yesterday, sadly was there for work and not for pleasure. After a half day of riding my partner noticed this oil (see pics) collecting around the back of the rear shock. Looking at the shock, I couldn't see anything that would indicate it was leaking. I guess my first question, has anyone had any problems with the shock leaking oil. Second, is the oil that has collected around the base of the shock a result of it leaking or could it be from something else? If the shock was leaking, is there somewhere else I should be looking?
It's not sticky, but may be from the air box. I don't see any oil in front of the shock in the direction of the airbox. That is why I was concerned it may be from the shock. If the shock were to leak, would it come from the center of rod inside the coil spring? Thanks for your help!
