Is this a great problem that I ought to have addressed by Balfa/Progressive or a shop??? How much damage can I do by continuing to ride it? it is 3 weeks old.
Thanks.

I am running the following combination:
I weigh 175
- 350 lb spring
- 120 lbs of air pressure
- largest air volume
- fast rebound
- very slight clockwise rotation of the other two knobs (last third, first third compression)

My shop knows nothing about this shock.

Trident Sports in North Van can service them…It should not seep oil or anything else for that matter. It should be under warranty.

if your shock is losing oil, then dirt is getting in aswell…

which of course is not good….

best to have it looked at ASAP…
