Oil at bottom of shock
I've got oil coming from around the bottom of the O/S front shock, they are only about a year old Avos that I brought from brickwerks. Does anyone know what would be causing this, if it's repairable and if this is a common problem? The N/S one is fine.

Re: Oil at bottom of shock
Well spoke to brickwerks and they've said to send it back. Can anyone tell me if it'll be ok if I take the shock off then drop the van back down on it's wheels while I wait for the replacement? The reason I ask is I fly out on holiday next Friday for 2 weeks and I don't want to leave the van up on stands as some little got will probably do something to the old girl.

Yes it will be fine to do that. Don't drive it though obviously
