Yep. O-rings are squishing out underneath the cap. Current solution: screw the cap on loose enough to not get the problem, but I'm worried it'll unscrew itself as it's really too loose.

I remember reading something about this earlier, but can't find the posts. I'm leaning towards trying to dremel the inside edge of the cap to create a cone edge, but stopped before going there because I can't see Durango designing this good a ride with the need to dremel down new parts. Pretty please - tell me what the mounting trick is, as I've never had this problem with the AE shocks. (Unless I forgot the bleeder screw in during tight-down.)
Another thing you can do (what I did) take an exacto knife and chamfer the inside edge of the shock cap. It doesn't take much and solved the problem for me.
