Super Deluxe Shock - How much leaking is "normal"?

[Shredden]

I've got a RockShox Super Deluxe RC3 Debonair on my new Process, and it's leaking a fair bit of oil on the shaft. First ride I thought it was normal (maybe a bit of schmoo from the factory pushing past the seals), but I've probably done 10 rides now and its still leaking consistently. I wipe it off every ride and its back after a run or two. I've attached a pic of what it looks like after a few laps of the 4X track.

Has anyone had similar experiences and got it warrantied? Or is it normal? I'd really like to go coil eventually but I don't think they play nice with the leverage curve on the Process.

Cheers

That’zs fine bud. When it stops is time for a service.

Nothing to worry about yet. Watch it over another few weeks.

If your compression and dampening is still OK and your not losing a lot of air I wouldn't worry about it, just looks like they've packed the aircan generously.

Better wet then dry. One of life’s valuable rules to live by

Thanks for asking this, I've been wondering the same. I feel much less guilty about putting off doing a service now...
