I’ve serviced a couple of RS1 forks recently (not mine, I don’t own any 
)
Second set was leaking oil and air out of the drive side. The only problem was that it was leaking air through the air shaft orings and not to the outside world (found his out later
).
As soon as I unscrewed the air shaft bolt, the stanction shot out like a gun due the air pressure build up behind it.
Luckily had the forks in a bike stand facing down into a bucket on a wooden chair. Broke the bucket and got covered in oil that was sitting in the bucket. If no bucket there it would have smashed into the concrete floor or worse if I had them horizontal the stanction could have seriously injured me as it shot out like a projectile
