Oil leaking from my fork comp screw
WP 43 forks. I have oil leaking from around the compression adj screw on the bottom of the fork. Any ideas why and how to fix?
Fork is on a 2002 EC300 that has quite a bit of trail time. Rick |

I don't know about WP but on the sachs the base nut screws into the cartridge and not the fork and seals with o-rings so if it is similar I would guess that maybe the o-rings are worn, if it is the original o-rings they are almost 10 years old

I have the same problem on my 43's but the leak is coming from the clicker screw, not the base nut or o ring area. It leaks worse at some positions of the screw setting and even after cleaning it with contact cleaner & air it still leaks. I have had it apart but I don't see how to disassemble the clicker because the c clip holding it all together looks impossible to reach without ruining the part completely. I'd like to know if it's fixable or has to be replaced, Thanks

There's an o-ring or 2 in there as well... *Should be* some sort of circlip in there to keep it from unscrewing- so usually you'd screw it all the way in and then be able to see the circlip, then you *should* be able to back it all the way out.
Be advised- if there are clicks, there are little ball bearings and springs in there making everything click... |

I'll try to turn it all the way in and see if the clip is easier to reach next time I change the fork oil. Thanks!
