Well, i think something must have gone leaky. ;-) Check if the valve-core is tightened correctly or maybe replace it. A tool for tyre air valves should fit. |

Where exactly does the air come from? Around the outside of the valve or from the inside part? If it's the latter fit a metal valve stem cover and call it a day. If it's coming from the outside, try to tighten down the valve body or if that doesn't help take it out and wrap it with a bit of teflon tape before re-install.

The oil came out from the inside of the valve.when I try to put air inside the valves the air come out and does the same thing when I push down the fork,and with the air some oil leaks out from the inside part of the valvestogether with air.now I have no air inside the fork and the pressure is 0 bar.

Well that means, that the valve is shot. You can get a new valve from a tyre shop and if you ask the mechanic nicely, you'll probably get a used one for free... Cheers, Greg |
