My front left shock leaks. The oil comes out of the dust seal. The oil sticks to the metal part of the shock, and then leaks down over the seal. The right side is fine: the metal part stays dry. I took the bike to the dealer last week, and they changed the seal, but, its still doing it. Has anyone else experienced this, or possibly know a solution so I can "advise" the dealer. They seem to hate warranty work, and I definitely hate having to bring it in (as opposed to enjoying it during the week and weekends!).
Thanks

Feel the fork tube, is it creased anywhere? If they replaced the seal and its still leaking in my mind it is either a defective seal, a error on install or a damged fork tube.

I wasn't riding recklessly, or wheelies or anything like that. I just noticed oil coming out on the left side. The fork seems fine, but, there is sand at the top of the fork. But, I'm thinking its just sticking to the fork because the fork has oil on it.....
