Oil coming thru Schrader valve on shocks?
On my 04 Ultra, I went to release the air out of the rear shocks and it looked like it spewed out oil on my finger, could it just be moisture built up? Time for a re-build?

Yes they build pressure. Usually if possible try to add a couple of pounds of air then check the pressure and set to amount wanted.

Owners manual says to add a little air before releasing pressure to blow oil away from valve.

Yeah that........ if you can't find it, your manual is probably under the leg of the kitchen table that used to wobble.
