| Leaks on the shock absorber |
| Minor oil leakage (sweating) on the piston rod seal does not entail the replacement of the shock absorber. |

|
| If an oil leak is visible (but blunt, dull, possibly dried by dust) and does not propagate any further than from the top shock-absorber plug (piston rod seal) to the bottom spring cap -arrow-, the shock absorber is deemed to be O.K. |
Diagram not available
Note | A slight oil leak is beneficial as the gasket is lubricated and this increases the life time. This also applies for the shock absorbers on the front and rear axle. |
