my shocks leaked also, i tightened them finger tight, which is why. They just need the slightest of turns with a spanner to nip them tight and stop them leaking. make sure you have the o ring on the bottom of the cartridge

Try some grease or some vaseline (don't even think it deviants) around the seal.

yea they are really good, they feel like they are tight enough with just finger pressure but just that lil "nip" tight makes them stop leaking
