Pressurised Dampers?

[alanworland]

All the recent posts on dampers prompted me to check the level in the fronts while I had me head under the bonnet!
All clean around the filler bolt I unscrewed the plug to find it contained pressure which was released with quite a 'pop' and a quantity of oil?
The nearside was pressurised but nothing like the offside.
Whats all that about? Anyone elses done that? (oil levels ok)

Perhaps they had been overfilled and the seals are good

Aye - there should be a little air space under the filler plug.
