    I let a little air out of the valve in faring and oil came out.
    so what does the seperator do ?
    air line rums to it from air valve to seperatorthen 1 line runs to shock and a line connects both shocks.
    I will be draining the 5 wt oil from the top portion of the shocks and refilling them per manual.
    adding new o rings at the connections of hoses to shocks and back to seperator then to air valve.
    going to presure test shocks while they are out

    I do not see any oil leaking along the lines shocks do not hold air.
    my hope is 5$ of o rings and proper level of oil in the shock solves that issue.
    maybe new air valve 30$

    I think the seperator 72$ is to prevent oil coming out the valve stem so it may also be part of the issue.

    next step is a set of progressive shocks and eliminating the air system.
    if the lines are bad thr price of 3 new lines at a 100$ each would be more that the progressive shocks
    I would like to keep th air shocks if possible
