Good afternoon 🙃 sick today  

 

Hope it passes quickly, unless it's a tummy issue, of course 😁

But seriously, get well soon.

The bushes and seal will wear putting very fine particles into the oil.

also v fine dirt/organic matter (black/dark part) that DOES and WILL pass the seals, hence why old oil is thicker and smells so bad.

You can get some misting, which can be too small to notice which could cause a slight loss. But if it's a lot in a small space of time, that sounds like you'd see it. The oil goes manky as the components inside wear and deposit debris into the oil. Contaminants still get by the seals in very small amounts, and over time cause the oil to discolour, smell, and sometimes you get thick deposits at the bottom of the fork you find when you're doing a overhaul. Like thick green/grey snot. 

 

They wear at very different rates, which also disturbs my OCD. You wind out the preload adjusters and they end up in different positions as they have different levels of travel. I know winding them in equally keeps the suspension fairly equalised, but it bothers me :lol: 

All sound hypotheses fellow motards.  If MY ODC kicks in any harder they might actually form the bases for a Theory ?   Don't hold you breath !
