Thanks for the info, like I said I am totally new to this stuff, I did not think of sealing grease. I should have, I use it all the time on my RC racing buggies in their shocks. any suggestions on shock oil?

Thanks for the reply, I have looked at the stanchions and they are in great shape no scratches or scoring on them. The bike had hardly been used before I got it, everything is dang near brand new. But if the shocks should not leak like that then maybe the shock seals dry rotted out a bit as it had just been in a garage for years.

I recently picked up a Gas Gas TXT pro 280 2013 (this is my first bike and I am a complete nub on this stuff), It has 40mm Marzocchi front shocks and they leak quite a bit. From what I have found they do this so they are very smooth. However it is getting into my front break and ruining break pads. I am looking for shock seals to prevent the leaking. I understand the shock may no longer be as smooth but it is something that I really want to stop to save my front break. I was looking at putting in https://www.trialstoreusa.com/skf-fork-oil-seals-40mm/ Anyone have suggestions or input on this. Thank you all.
