A few minutes ago I was adjusting rebound on my Domain with a 2.5mm allan key in place of the knob that fell off. Then all of the sudden all the oil came out all over the ground? How did this happen?? did I just eff my fork up???
but why did all the oil come out from adjusting rebound? I can keep putting new oil in but it would be pointless if it just kept coming out everytime i try to make an adjustment
How much oil? the lowers use a 15 ml bath and the stanchion holds 200ml which is a good bit. There are o-rings on the rebound needle inside the damper shaft. I've never had one leak although it is possible. Not sure you can service the damper.

well it was slowly dripping for over half an hour so I would guess all the 15ml of oil came out. I took it to the bike shop because I dont have the oil or know how (although I'm sure its not that hard) to do the job. The guy there said not to worry unless a whole cup or so came out. I tries to tell him that I was pretty sure its the upper tube that holds 200ml and that the lower on that side only needs 15ml but he said not to worry about it at all. Now when I ride the frok makes this loud knocking noise in the right leg (the side the oil came out) but not the left. Is the guy at the store wrong? i think I should take it to another bike shop.
