Remember that time I posted you a message in really big letters when you were in class? Heh, heh...

Back...good news is Van-sama has fresh oil, all fluids were OK, and nothing serious is wrong.

Bad news is...probably in the last really cold spell one of the seals on the left rear shock blew, and the other will need to be replaced sometime soon, too. It's not a SUPER expensive repair and the guy said it was fine to wait - just means a rougher ride. Could be worse. But still kind of a bummer.

He said cold weather can cause that, so that's most likely the reason. It's also a '97...so while not old, things ARE just starting to wear out.
