   Hi guys went out for a spirited ride on the aprilia mille r last sunday to Cadwell park for the races , noticed when i got back , there looked to be fine oil spray around the top of the preload adjuster ? ( ohlin forks ) . Would this be normal ? , is it a seal leaking ?. , like a said a fine spray of oil ( dark grey ) . Have to say I was really pushing her

	there is a rubber o ring as part of the top cap which is all held in place by a locknut. either it's all worked loose or the o ring is damaged.
