  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Mazoc's leaking fork fluid

Guys I believe the top of my twin chamber Mazoc 50 (right one) is leaking. Is this likely to be too much pressure building up and its self releasing via the bleeder or do I need to tighten the cap. penny for your thoughts.
 
All speculation on my part... but
Top cap leak seems unlikely but loosen the top tripple bolt on that side- then tighten the cap. Then tighten the tripple bolt.
I suppose if the bleeder was failing- it could be inhaling and exhausting every time you pump the forks through the bleeder and with it small amounts of oil. If you press that bleeder, and it is always at zero pressure maybe its the culprit. The bleeder has an o-ring seal that may have not been reinstalled upon maintenance- or the internal seal of the bleeder could be poor.
 
Thank you for the feed back I will try to tighten the cap, then pump her a few times to establish if the cap leaks and or there is any pressure build up internally. Thank you again.

Is it leaking from the bleeder or from around the red anodised bolt? I think if the oil has been in there a while fine particles can migrate. It can get caught in and get through the the seal or just wear it away, but it isn't that common.
