Cleaning Question - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Okay, so I've taken my new XD-40 svc to the range a few time already. I'm a total newb when it comes to guns. I've cleaned the gun after each use as instructed. My question is this: Is it common to see oil coming from the guns levers, joints and rails even after wiping it down after cleaning? I use CLP and clean all the parts meticulously and then wipe off the excess oil and put the XD to bed. By the time I take it out again for use, I notice some CLP leaking out of the slide lock lever and from all different areas. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something in my cleaning.

I get the same 'seeping' after they have been cleaned and put away, I don't get to worried about it. Just wipe it off again.
Useing a air can or compressed air, will help.
