fox rear 2.0 leak?

I just picked up a package of fox rear 2.0 shocks for a 1st gen and noticed that the shaft for the passenger side had some oil on it and around the shaft seal. I wiped it up and haven't seen anymore come out yet but won't be mounting them until I can get in touch with the seller.

Is it normal to have a little bit of oil around there or should it be bone dry all the time?

 

We’re they new?

 

yes

 

I would be worried if it was colored oil, I don’t know if Fox uses red or blue from the factory. Anything else was most like just from assembly.

 

thanks, ill keep an eye out for that
