Leaking nitro?

[fuzz]

I know I can send it in for warr. but was wondering if there is a remote chance this is normal; I once saw small bubbles (condensation developed under caps) emminating from the seals of both windage and elevation dials.
Is there a way to check if this still has nitrogen and doing its job before the crap hits the fan?
Thanks

If you're seeing bubbles, something gaseous is leaking. May be just trapped air though.

Nitrogen is a gas, doesn't bubble.

Nitrogen is a gas, doesn't bubble.

It does when there's condensation under the caps...

If it's just under the seals of the dials, and not coming from the inside chamber itself, then you're probably just seeing a pressure differential that's external to the scope.

If it's actually bubbling when the dial covers are removed, that could be something worse.
