Fork is possibly a Super Fatty M? Or P-bone M?
So it's 80mm or 60mm travel but the spring is, well, a spring, and the damping is provided by some plastic shit which has probably atrophied so the fork is effectively running without compression or rebound damping.
As above, there was supposed to be a plastic cap that screws on top. The part number is listed as HD213 but it's not the correct part as that returns a lockout dial.
So yea just seal it up with something. Bad things happen if water gets in. If there's no hydraulics, then the stuff coming out the bottom is possibly a result of water getting in or someone's attempt to lubricate the bearings in the fork.

Right, think I've found it. It's a 2001 F400. Pretty basic. The catalogue looks like no lockout or anything fancy. Anyone know where I'd source a top cap for something like this?
Plan is to use my spares box to go 1×10, drop bars, 2.0 kojacks and mudguards as a winter all road split. Like my Genesis Fortitude which im selling but lighter and cheaper. The only things I need to buy is a shorter stem and tyres.
Let's see how we go. May do a current projects thread.
