Default Air shock leaking oil

My right air shock seems to be leaking oil. The bottom of it is dripping oil, I thought these don't have oil, Could it be something else? I have a 2011 ultra classic, Thanks for help.

Yes they have oil, or at least one of yours did. There is no repair on these, easy and reasonable to replace. What length 12 or 13" because I have some take offs in my garage that are in great shape? I can ship both to you for 100 bux if you need the 13" ones.

Default air

check the air hose coupling blue-red most of the leaks come from there.pump air to max 30-50 .mix some water with soap ,put some i schock at the time.if leak you see some bubble.remove the air hose from coupling by pressing tab each side put hose back push only.rechek with max pression again.usely shock don t leak .if you loose oil this is because air pression are to low and you bottom them.mrfuji
