    Had the same constant issue with my Fox 2.0s... I ended up ripping them off the truck, the issue is your hose fitting is hitting the shock mount when the shock compresses. at least that's what happened to me when I had them and it caused that fitting to loose all of its oil and nitrogen. warrantied them 4 times before switching to full king 2.5s

    I guess I’m asking, is it bc it’s hitting the shock mount. And how do I fix?
    Thanks for the reply’s man.

    My guess is the hose/fitting are hitting the shock mount on compression and that’s creating enough movement for oil to make its way out.

    I would probably have the fitting fixed and then notch the shock mount so there is more clearance for the hose and fitting.

    Your best bet is to try and warranty the shock if you can, then notch that spot that’s hitting or rotate the shock 90* so that it’s facing outward Toward your tire that might give you the clearance you need!

    Might be easier depending on where you live to take it somewhere and have it refilled with nitrogen and oil and replace the fitting!
