crap more bike issues
MY felt nine flow has suntour xct v3 shocks and i was just looking over the bike and on the bottom of the shock i saw what appeared to be a very light oil leaking out of shock. Was yellowish gold in color. Im taking it in to bike store in am or afternoon any ideas what it may be so i dont sound like a idiot to bike guy

Were you riding it in cold temps? Seals leak in cold and should be ok once it warms back up. If not, then it may need rebuilding. I have Rock Shox one similar to yours and all the oil came out of it. It works fine with just the spring and no oil.

Blind Guess: might be Water and Rust.. since I dont have a clue what exactly a suntour xct v3 is.
a rigid fork resolves shock problems ..K.I.S.S. given commuting needs reliability..
