If it's leaking like it looks to be, it's busted.

Isn't that what they call an "oil bath". I though all RC shocks looked like that.

Busted. I would try contacting RC. I have heard they are decent about replacing faulty products.

I busted one of my old RC shocks the first off road trip out with only 3000 on the shocks. If you email or contact RC all they ask for is photographs of the shock as proof and they sent me a replacement.

Beats Superlift all to shit! My SS started leaking out of nowhere. I called to claim my "limited lifetime warranty". Turns out, if I had saved my receipt from my $30 stabilizer from 2 years ago they might have warrantied it. Gee, thanks Superlift!

Hope you have better luck with RC.
