Where is my fork leaking from????

drain screw is dry as well as the opening at the bottom looking up at the axle. cant find a source of the leak. is there something i cant see maybe?

did you take off the dust wipers and look at the seals for leaks?

Yep, i would guess seals as well. Probably running down the back of the fork.

i have not taken anything off at the moment....

all sides of the fork are completely dry.

just thinking out loud here.....I had what I thought was a fork leak and found out it was a brake leak.

Did u put the copper washers on the drain screws? If you don't see any evidence on the fork tubes, like a ring of dirt/oil, then there's only 2 places they could leak. Drain screws or 6mm socket at the bottom. I'd bet its just the seals though.

didn't notice the color at first.

yeah i would say the copper crush washer on the drain screw needs to be changed

Damper screws use sealing washer that can leak.
