Curious about how much oil seepage people are experiencing with the new dampers. Mine are leaving a thin layer of fluid on everything within a 1 inch radius. It's not enough to actually cause a drip, so they aren't really leaking, but after a run every bit of dirt and road grime is collecting in that area. Is this normal for everyone else?

How often are you all rebuilding these new dampers? And what weight is equivalent to 500? Would Associated 40wt be pretty close? It seems like I need to do it soon considering how much fluid I'm consistently losing (it doesn't take long for the oil to come back after I completely clean everything).
