    Hey can anyone give me insight on whether or not my Billy 5100 shock is blown or leaking? I was out in the snow last night but it is currently 55 out and it doesn't seem like just water, almost has an oily feel to it. Any thoughts?

    If it feels like oil then it's probably blown

    Well it turns out it is limited lifetime warranty. I found that out after playing leap frog on the phone from dsm to bilstein to rcd. They were all helpful in getting me in contact with the right person. Now i must wait two weeks until i can go home and put on a factory shock and send in the leaking one for evaluation. Takes 4-6 weeks for evaluation. I guess now its all just a waiting game.
