I recently had new oil seals installed on my '72 Combat by a trusted mechanic who told me one leg was completely empty of oil. However, within a couple of days I noticed oil dripping from the bottom of that slider and, after draining, discovered it had lost a third of its contents in that short time. I believe it's coming from the damper anchor bolt which answers why the leg was dry. Looking at the Haynes, this seems like a job I could do out in the street myself, assuming the slider can be pulled off while not disturbing the stanchion? On reassembly, would there be any issues about locating the internal fibre washer onto the bolt which I'm hoping is the reason for the leak.
Also would anyone have any other ideas as to what could cause the leak if the washer is in good order?
