    My left fork is leaking at the top near the cover where the schrader air valve is. I think it will most likely be o-ring #14 in the picture causing the leak, but I want to get opinions first before I dive in. Is this going to be an easy fix? Is this a sign of something more major than just an o-ring at the top?

    Thanks for the feedback. Would you know or does someone know what type of o-ring will be needed? Will a common rubber o-ring work or do I need buna because of the contact with oil
