I have noticed my Fox Float DPS has been leaking oil and is leaving some gunky dusty oil above the o ring on the stanchion. I know that some oil residue is normal after a service but I did an air can service 30 hours ago and I have noticed oil consistently on the stanchion ever since then. Should it still be leaving some oil this far into the service? The shock holds air pressure fine, is not making any wheezing noises and still has fine damping. It's a pretty basic and cheap shock but I am looking to sell the bike soon and would like to figure out this leak first (if it even needs to be figured out or is it normal)?

Don't panic, completely normal.
In my experience the only shocks that don't leak some oil out are shocks that need a service.
It's when they don't have any oil residue, that you should worry.
