It sounds as if you've torn a seal. I suggest purchasing a set of
replacement o-rings (about $1.50 at your hobby shop) part #5407. Use
a lubricant, such as RCPS Green Slime, before sliding the shock shafts
through the new seals, WATCH THE THREADS! A full rebuild is the
ONLY way to fix a leaking shock. You did put the o-rings in the rear
shocks, didn't you?
BTW, I've tried the MIP Blue Seals, and I think the stock Associated
seals are better. The MIPs are softer, and seem to tear much too
easily.
Change your seals, all you've got to lose is $1.50!
Good luck & win some races!
