I-Shock question

Yesterday I was tuning my I-Shocks and when I turned in the adjusment screw a few drops of oil oozed out around the screw. I checked it throughout the day and it is not leaking. Is this normal?

I dunno...

Maybe Ken on here from KB Motorsports can tell us.
If not, you will have to call I-Shock or ask on another forum.

I think you are the only one here who has them.
How are they by the way?

They were on the machine when I bought it so I don't have anything to compare them to.

Did you give the guys at Ishock a call? They have very good customer service and perhaps it's even under warranty.

I wonder if the compression valve is coming loose or if it has a bad oring or seal in it. Or is it leaking somewhere else you said by the click adjuster for the compression right?

It came out around the adjustment screw. This happened on both shocks.
