So I "was" hanging my bike upside down in the garage and now there is what seems to be oil from the forks dripped to the headset. So is it bad to hang them upside down? The forks are Manitou stance and one side is spring and other is air? possibly? so when I air them up "make them stiffer" it doesn't stay stiff very long! Can I rebuild these forks or has anyone else done this?

Don't know anything about that fork but there must be some oil in there for lubrication. If your seals are a little worn, even broken in, the oil probably just worked its way through.... especially with the bike upside down with the oil pooled up against the seals.
