Mel, I always fill my shocks to the top of the hole and have never had a
problem with leaking. With the position of the fill hole and restricted
space for access, it would be hard to determine when "enough is enough"
unless filled to the top. I use motorcycle fork oil that has seal
conditioners in it.

Subject: [Healeys] Front shock leaking
I have a front shock on my BJ8 that was replaced about a year ago (new)
that is leaking oil on both sides of the wishbone arms and I was told
that if the shock is overfilled it will leak and that may be my problem.
My question to the list, how far down from the fill hole should the oil
level be. Also, what oil can be used in the shock?
