I had my local dealer install some heavier fork springs for me. After a few laps around the local MX track I found some oil weeping out the fork caps. Its not leaking out the air bleeder screw, but from the cap itself.
Both sides weeping evenly.
Would this be caused by over-filling the oil in the forks or from incorrect tightening of the caps?
The workshop foreman assures me he did not overfill the forks and says if it is "weeping" then this sometimes happens if there is heavy impact over jumps. If things are "leaking" then of course this is something more serious.
Just thought I'd ask if anyone has had a similar experience?

I suspect this can only be from over-tightening the fork caps after the heavier springs were installed.
