<div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;">Alex,  my recollection of the TR3 SUs is that there is nowhere for oil to go.</span>
<div style="font-family:sans-serif;"><br clear="none"></div>

<div style="font-family:sans-serif;">One way one might suspect a leak is if the damper is overfilled... then the excess will work out and the level go down.</div>

<div class="yiv2101811018MsoNormal">Quick question…. I am losing damper oil which appears to be showing up at the bottom of the Jet assy. Looking at the Moss catalog diagram of the su for a TR3..there is a part named seal cork with a replacement called 0-ring (leak free replacement. Could this be the cause of my leak…open to any and all suggestions.</div>

<div class="yiv2101811018MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></div>

<div class="yiv2101811018MsoNormal">Also…would the lack of adequate oil in the damper cause the engine to sputter and backfire? </div>
