Probably been asked before, but my Dorado Experts seem to be seeping oil. I had previously read that this happens when they sit unused and due to not being able to ride it for a while, I have still made sure I removed the bike from the garage and cycled the suspension action a few times at least once a week. Anyone else had this issue?

I've had some Pros lying around in my shed for a while and they show no signs of leakage

If you don't have seals handy and it's only seeping/weeping and not full on leaking you can take the fork leg apart and try cleaning the seals. It's not guaranteed to work, but I've fixed weeping oil a couple times by cleaning them. It's something I do with the moto that I tried on the mtb and it worked.

Or there's this one for a bit less with axle, hub and spoke kit to be built onto rims of your choice... Good looking fork!

That's a mighty fine looking collection you got there. Do you line em up on the yard often just to look at them?
