What you say about the bushes is interesting considering the mechanic did say the bushes are worn. Also interesting, how come it wouldn't be advised to mix tubes and lowers as I don't really have a lot of experience with forks? Would it be because of different rates of wear? Thanks again for the tips everyone
To be honest I was just guessing that a damaged bush could be allowing the inner to wobble and compromise the seal, I'm not a mechanic and probably wouldn't have suggested the bush if you'd not mentioned it and gone with a pitted/damaged inner. The only reason I said to not mix uppers/lowers is I think I read it in pointer to null's guide not to mix components between forks, maybe that's overcautious but as a fork comes as a set each part will bed into the other differently depending on the fork.
I'd like to know for future reference if I'm talking shit though.
