Default seal question

i had kyle racing do a 20mm ohlins sping and valve job, but keep leeking oil out of only the right fork. i had them relace the seal, and it is doing the same thing. it does it mainly when i transport it and after some hard wheelies. but the left has never shown any sign of oil. i find it hard to believe that only the right seal is going out, for the second time now with the left not doing anything. what do you guys think? thanks

It sounds like a surface imperfection on the shock rod itself that's tearing up your seal. You could try polishing up the fork rod, but you'd be better off getting a replacement rod.

You probably have scratches on the fork tube. Inspect it well for damage. If there's no damage, then the oil level is too high. Check and make sure you/ they didn't overfill it.
