I run a K1A and KF2 currently.
I had a problem with the vented shock caps - no matter what I did when building one of them I had oil coming out of the small hole under the main bleeder hole but the other 3 were fine (I presume this is in case you over fill them and it comes out there past the sealing O ring rather than 'blowing' the shock like we used). Turns out one of the shock bodies I had in the K1 Aero kit I had built up wasn't up to spec and the threaded portion the shock cap goes onto wasn't long enough. This meant it wasn't sealing against the O ring and the oil could go straight out of the hole. It wasn't a problem when using the original diaphragms as they are a bit thicker so sealed fine.

It wasn't something Trish had seen before and I got replacement parts sent out really quickly to solve it .
