Fork drip

I just took the bike around the block a few times after a long winter of getting things semi-sorted. The next day, I noticed a couple drops of fork oil coming from the bottom hole of the fork on the right. I took off the wheel and checked the bottom hex head bolt. It is loose, or should I say it just spins. The same bolt on the left fork is nice and tight. I have the right fork off and the spring is removed. How do I tighten this bolt? I rebuilt the forks a few months ago and I just can't recall how I did it. It is late and I am bleary eyed and I have a feeling that if I was able to concentrate, I could figure it out with the manual.

Thanks,

Oh ugh, the loose bolt is just turning with the damper tube bottom it screws into. If extra fast impact wrench can't get it to grip and secure down, then nothing for it but the top fork opening surgical approach, to grip the damper tube so bolt tightens down and seals. Maybe if can put some force to extend forks open the damper rod may press the damper valve tighter to the damper cap under side, which may restrain damper tube from spinning enough to get a bite in the threads and tighten up fully.

Hi, Yes this can be a problem, when the forks where re-built the fibre base washer would have been dry allowing a better grip.
Now covered with oil it's a differant ball game, if you remove the damper and "glue" the fibre washer to the damper base...you will be 50% there.
But before glueing it in position rub the washer face on some sand paper both sides, this gives a better grip, check the tapped hole in the damper base is clear and the pin screw's in fully.
Last resort....I have screwed in a pin into the drain screw hole ..this will gently jam the damper base, but be carefull and get a pin the same thread size.
