Had my bike in the back of the car for a few hours today and when I took it out noticed a small patch of oil on the sheet I had put under it. The oil seemed to of come from under the U-turn adjuster knob????

I took the knob off (then collected all the ball bearings from the floorbiggrin) dried it all out then left the bike upside down for about 20 minutes and nothing!!! not a drop.

My question is this, does this mean all my oil came out? The patch didn't seem big enough to include all the oil from the lower, only about 7" round on a cotton sheet and the forks still feel great. How much oil does that side hold? LBS says not to ride on them for fear of damage but TFT website says its normal for Pikes/Rebas/Revelations to leak in this way?
