Fox coilovers..normal to lose oil with nitrogen release?

[urbex]

So probably stupid question from someone who's never ran coilovers before...Fox 2.0 emulsion..when releasing nitrogen charge, is it normal to get a bunch of oil spraying out through the valve too?

Shock stood up, off truck. Pressed Schrader valve in, and felt like most of the oil came out with the ntrogen. Made a hell of a mess in the garage, lol.

I'm thinking it probably is, since the oil and gas are mxing in the body? Just want to make sure.

Its not unusual to get a little bit of oil like a teaspoon or so. It always seems like a lot since it is sprayed but if you have alot more than that then you likely have a damage internal seal.

On an emulsion it is.

You have to let the oil out very slowly.

On a remote resi there shouldn't be any oil.

Oops...didn't see the email on the replies until just now...

Guessing using a screwdriver to pop the valve wasn't the best idea...would it be reasonable to use the same valve I use for filling, drop the open end of the hose in a bucket, then just crack the valve enough to slowly let the nitrogen out and hopefully contain any oil that sprays out that way?
