i've been riding my blur 3 times a week for a year now tough trail riding consisting of rocky decents, smaller 1-2 foot drops, steep rutted trails. within the last 2 rides i've noticed a accumulation of oil coming from my AVA. there is enough that it forms a drop that then rolls down my seat tube. this is a new occurance and has me abit concerned. the shock has been used for 1 year and should still be under warrenty. i'd hate to have to send it off to fox and have my blur down for the time it takes fox to repair the problem. is the amount of oil drainage excessive? or does everyone have oil drainage similar to mine. BTW i'm a small clydsdale at 185 and i run the psi @ 195(if your curious :))

Not normal. You will more than likely find the rebound needing adjustment, or the lockout(?) not working. Soon, it is time. THe air seals are user servicible, but the rest is not. The good news is Fox has a fast turn around, so if you time it right, it will be back in less than 1 week.
