Don't think so. "Too much" oil in the fork is not a big problem, the only
thing, what imho can happen is, that at full compression the pressure inside
the fork get's so high, that the sealings can be damaged. But it is more
likely, that the oil is pressed outside and nothing get's damaged.
To some extent, you can adjust spring rate with more or less oil. More
oil -> harder spring (because the air in the fork get's more compressed),
Less oil -> softer spring.
> about the "Kurbelgehaeuseentlueftungsschlauch"
The tube is closed with a plug (so no oil goes to the environment). Know,
what's the name of this plug ? Of course:
Kurbelgehaeuseentlueftungsschlauchstoepsel :-)))
