[QUOTE="rPGoatBoy, post: 1144912, member: 27237"] Looks like it was leaking for awhile, and you didn't notice. Same thing happened to me. The dirt/oil combo stuck to the outside of your fork didn't happen sitting in your garage. You should try a Sealmate, or 35mm film negative (or an old milk jug) cut to the shape of a Sealmate. There are threads in the forum with people describing how to and the great success they've had using it. Or you can do what I did, and took the opportunity to pull the forks, respring for my weight, install Race Tech gold valves, and replace the seals and bushings. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
