My Z3's are leaking oil, never done that before, but i think it might be the extreme cold we are having???
 
If you've had them a while ,it could be wear & tear,it does sound like it.
Time for it's ten yearly service :LOL:
I've also used bombers in winter and in a blizzard with driving snow[not fun] and they where fine.
When the seals did go,it was quite sudden after about 8 years,there was no bit at a time they just went,1 day fine the next ,not
Once they are serviced ,it's like having a whole new fork :D
 
Cold

No its the extreme cold I think, if it's happened all of a sudden. I snapped a good quality 6mm Allen Key in the workshop the other day, was only tweaking a crank up and it snapped clean as a whistle halfway along its length.
BTW this is when Aluminium frames crack too!!!!!
