Fox shock leaking oil

[DAJO]

Walking around Talon up on trailer looking at the fox numbers on the springs wondering if numbers can be crossed over to actual spring rates.
Noticed left rear shock has oil on the rod where it comes out of the shock body. The other three are completely dry. Haven't heard much about leaking Fox shocks. Will wipe it clean and observe for more oil.

If I have to pursue warranty do they replace shock or try to replaced seals.

As for the numbers on the springs - yes usually you can google the numbers and find out the weight of the spring.

They would normally replace the shock. They should not leak at all unless wore.

Spent a lot of time on the internet trying to find spec on Fox springs using the numbers stamped on the springs.
Not finding much useful. Anyone know where this information can be found?

The OEM springs are usually stamped for an OEM part number. The aftermarket springs are stamped according to their length, diameter and rate. You will probably have to call Fox or Honda to get the specifics. Seems like I saw them listed on FB at one time.

Called Fox and they said oil may be makeup oil so I will clear it off and watch.

Did these numbers get truly written as intended? Seems the top should always be lighter than bottoms and fronts should be lighter than rears. Very interested in this as I want to make some changes but not sure what I really have for stock springs.
