ive got no photos but what i mean is my baja has not been used since sunday and today oil on floor. the baja was on a stool so no weight on shocks but over today they just emptied themselves.
i think it could be the o-rings..

Yep sounds like blown shock seals mate. No worries, get some flora in there and you'll be good to go ! :omg:
 
I would also recommend fitting some Killer Kables so the shock end seals aren't being touched when you hang the wheels down (or smash them on the ground upside down when cartwheeling!)
