I just put on a set of Ohlins (w/ remote rezz) that I won off of ebay. While I was installing the rear shock, I noticed that the line connecting the rezzie to the shock was angled wrong. I loosened the bolt slightly and re-angled the line so that it would fit properly. A little oil leaked out when I did this, is that something to worry about? Also, the shock doesn't have any sag while I'm not on the bike, did I cause this by adjusting the line?

Its a pretty good possibility that you got air in the system when you cracked the line. I would have it blead to be on the safe side. That is not a self sagging shock so it will not sag under its own weight.

Thanks Jeff, what is involved in bleeding the shock?

Unless you have shock tools, know how and nitrogen you can't do it yourself.
