Ok, pulled my compression fork apart on my 45mm conventional marzocchi's (rebound wasnt leaking so decided to leave it). It had about 300-350ml of oil left in it. The oil was disgusting brown, there was dirt all around the seal and the seal it sits on. I've taken out the seal and the bushings from the top of the slider cleaned em all up and will be putting it back together tonight (seal seems fine, I think it was just all the muck causing it to leak)
There was also a decent size (3mm maybe) chip in the chrome. I've sanded it down so its (relatively) nice and smooth now.
Will also be putting boots on as well, so hopefully my leaking problem might be fixed!
What sort of oil do you recommend? I have heard mobil 7.5wt ATF oil is good. I guess anything will be better than the crap that was in it though !!
