: Rear shock oil leak?? Please help!

I noticed that my rear shock has a rare stain that looks like an oil leak. I haven't seen a drop yet, it's only a stain. So I'm not sure if it is a leak.

I wash it, then ride the bike and the stain comes back.

I don't know if it is normal. Here are a few pics.

Could any of you go and check your bike to see if it has the same spot? You have to look at it with a flashlight or in daylight.

And it shows up after riding it. If you cleaned the bike and haven't ride it since, then you will not have it.

I want to make sure before going to the dealership and they say to me that it is completely normal. I'm going tomorrow.

Thanks!
