It's from my shock isn't it? Dam!! Does it just need a rebuild? How much does that cost? What do I do this has never happened to me before. I beat the crap out of my 2004 fox float Ava and this 2007 fox rp2 went caput on me in 2 weeks.

If it's from your shock, at the very least, you've got a blown seal.
The guys at NOTB just replaced the seals on my rig for about $30-$40.

I believe they do have a DT discount, but I'm not sure if it covers service and merchandise both.

False alarm, upon further examination I have found the origin of the leak. It's the grease from my Joplin leaking down through the frame ki through an opening near the bb. Phew!!

Yeah, get ready to send that Joplin POS back to Crank Brothers. Hope you still have a warranty. That is usually the sign that it is failing. They douse the bottom bracket with all of the oil from inside.

Yep, the failure mode for the POS Joplin is to puke it's oil out through the bottom of the post, where it then leaks out of your seat tube making a mess. Soon after it won't operate properly (not that they usually do even when not leaking, but you get my point.)

You guys were right. She needed new seals. 30 bucks no big deal.
