If the orings are pressed against the body, and pressed against the shaft ------ where is the oil possibly coming from?

Have you checked there's no deep scratches inside the body or on the shaft ? or even a cut on the outside of one of the orings?

I don't think I've ever used the plastic caps myself but I have some on my new shocks I'm building. If the orings aren't getting compressed enough then I guess that could cause some leaking - why not try a thin washer between the centre plastic spacer and the last oring (or either way round) to press on the orings a little more and ensure they're engaging the body and shaft properly.

The alloy caps are in stock at Team Durango.
