Can you say how much oil is appearing? Have you tried wiping clean then riding a while and checking? So they are cheap forks, but I am sure seals must be available cheaply too so possibly would be worth servicing them.

If XCMs have been dry on the sanctions for any length of time they're probably well overdue for a service. They have no oil bath and rely completely on the moving contact surfaces being lubed.
A good XCM is a very bad fork indeed.

So does this mean there is not necessarily a problem?

Apart from being saddled with Suntour forks, there's liable to be no problem.

Well, if people took the time to label things this wouldn't happen.
