Any help on this is well, helpful.

I was adjusting the air pressure in both legs. Reducing it to be exact. But when I pressed in very lightly on the right leg schrader valve and the air came out, a little bit of oil came out as well.

Should I be concerned? Or is that somehow normal?

Thanks

let me get this straight,
you pressed the release pin on the shrader valve, and oil spray came out w/ air?

if so, thats normal.

Completely normal.

Marzocchi doesnt have a sepperate chamber for the air, so it just mixes and foams with the oil.

Fork oils don't foam, if they did, your fork legs would blow up upon impact.

There is a frothy mess inside my air marzocchi forks.

Nope, fork oil doesnt foam, lookin at a bottle of it right now, "non-foaming" or else you could just use any other oil. Thats why you dont throw motor oil in your forks
