From my limited knowledge of seeing the bikes in & out of Nelly's, Ohlins forks have a tendancy to leak.

Two options 1) Stop the leak with better seals which will give more stiction and in theory less performance 2) Leave them wheeping a little and they'll work their best, but if they leak replace the seals more often.

They do now apply grease to the new design of Ohlins seal...the new design came in about 18 months ago, and if the fork /seal has been installed correctly then it should show a little 'moisture' on the fork bottom halve...this is the grease on the seal, but it should only be there for a short while...i.e. 20-30 miles.

Wipe the fork and then have another look...it shouldn't be 'oil' IMHO.
