Forks leaking oil at the top?


Recommended Posts

I did a search and can't really find much. I have a '09 yz450, and the last ride (just tonight) I noticed oil pooling up in the top of the fork where the air bleeder and adjuster screw is. I thought I was crazy at first, so I wiped it out, and rode a little more and sure enough more oil pooling in there. Its happening on both sides too, which seems strange to me. Anyone else have this problem, or seen this before? When I opened the air bleeder screw, it made a little poof of air, so it seems to me those are sealing fine. Maybe out the adjuster screw??

the bleeder screws can leak, there are O-rings that seal there. I have seen them leak on a bike before. Pretty unlikely that its your adjusters. Please take some pictures so we can help. Also post pics in your post on the Suspension forum and I'm sure guys will chime in to help.
