Just got back. Limped home with a flat tyre. Also when I had a look there was lots of gray gunk over the rear mudguard. It leaked from the spring preload adjuster.
Has anyone had this happen and also where do I refil the fluid.

One more note. If the rear suspension reservoir is punctured the contents are under pressure and it will shoot all over everything. It is non serviceable so the only option is to replace the rear suspension unit. Check your rear shock is fully intact, if it is, then it came from someplace other than the rear suspension.
 
Here is the rear suspension drawing:

That goo looks more like "Fix a Flat" flung from a tire than it does from anything in the suspension sysetem.
After your first reply I went and cleaned it all up and the gunk is not greasy and it does smell of tyre. And looking at the diagram you posted its looking like it is a tyre weld sealant thingy.
Thank you very much.
