I have a fox fork that leaks very much. I've gotten new seals for them and put them on but it still leaks. I weigh about 110 pounds and have probably about 50 pounds of air in. Thanks! please respond.

I assume you mean they are leaking oil, not air, since you've mentioned changing the seal.

Are your stanchions worn? Are there vertical stripes on the stanchions? Compress the fork an inch and look where the seal would normally sit. If you can feel the stripes then you need new stanchions. They may be replaceable under warranty, depending on the age of the fork.

Depending on where the fork is leaking, you mayh have to replace internal seals

The fork is from 2005, has push installed, and the oil is coming out mostly on the right side.

Oil coming out near the stanchions or at the bottom?

Are the stanchions scratched?
