    You can do the same thing by pressing the brake pedal in the car. And get a lot more pressure.

    Its possible it's been leaking a long time, I just didnt notice it til now.
    Might be a leaky shock. I don't see fluid on the tire but the shock looks damp.

    Its quite possible its the shock. They're pretty much frozen, but I coulda broke that one loose a bit from fiddling about getting in and out. Complete suspension rebuild is on my
    list already, so thats not a.....shock..hehe.

    Pumped the brakes and didnt get any new drippings, so I think thats all good...but I'll find out more when I get it up for a complete inspection.

    Thanks

    I'd also have to vote for leaky shock based on the photo.
