LST shocks leaking....why? It's new.

I got my new XXL today it looks awesome. I knew the shocks were leaking it said so in the ebay ad, but I figured it was an easy fix. Has anyone been through this? It's coming out the bottom end and they're as tight as can be. The o-rings look good too. It's not going to get the 'Rolex treatment' but I want it to stay somewhat clean during the break-in.

I've read about this issue with losi shocks. A little green slime on the seals is rumored to fix the problem.

Green slime did the trick for my Losi Mini Rock Crawler's shafts.

Well the slime did the trick. It seems the shock oil by itself isn't slick enough to let the o-rings seat properly. Thanks fellers.
