i also had an OG monster (7"). whist plush, the damper was certainly... unsophisticated. with no bottom out bumper, so hit full travel with a nice metal on metal clang. and yeah, when the seals went (fairly regularly it seemed), they just gushed impressive volumes of oil. i used to stuff windings of an old shoelace under the dust wiper to stem the flow.
