Hi guys,
I have just topped up my forks after replacing the seals.
When I push down on them there is a fine layer of oil on the lower leg - is this normal ??? i dont know if it is supposed to do this or not, doesnt seem right to me
is it possible the seals are in the wrong way ? i have them with the flange facing upwards, and the bottom section (facing downwards) is the one with a recess in it with what looks like a spring.
would appreciate any help - before I put them on the bike if they are not right !!!
Replaced seals, but still seems to be leaking ???

think the seals are in the wrong way mate which is why they are leaking still.
