Just a few drops. It took me a while to figure out where it was coming from. Is it something I need to take to the dealer immediatly or do I have a little time? My dealer is 60 miles away. Don't want to tear anything up or cause a safety issue.

 

You should be fine if it only a few drops, but I'm not sure what the dealer will be able to do if the problem is anything other than the compression fitting. The stock shocks are cheapo's. Maybe it's time to do a little shopping?

 

how nuch presure do you run . i heard the oil might back out into the lines if you run 0 presure

 

You will start to notice the shock bottoming out and just a general ill handling of the bike. Poor handling should be considered as a safety hazard.

I am on my third shock, same thing, oil dripping from it on the left side of the bike.

 

you can get neer new take off HD touring air shock sets dirt cheap on ebay,

do a search on the forum for info on changing shock oil for a better ride,

 

Did you check your air lines and fittings? I missed reinstalling a tywrap on one of the airlines and the tire rubbed it, it leaked shock oil on the left side (shot oil right on the left shock). I had enough airline to reroute and cut the bad out for the fix.

 

Had the left shock replaced under warranty for leaking oil. Should not be an immediate issue, and you may want to verify that they have a shock in stock before you carry it in.

 

Mine was leaking and bottoming out replaced them with some real shocks

 

My left shock leaked oil also, fixed under warrantee. Must be something with the left shock? If it is the shock leaking get it replaced .

 

those things are about free on ebay...buy another.
