Yes and yes.
I personally use Oko fluid as it's water based and I water mine down about 25%
Stick about 200ml in it.
Get it from Amazon or any farm store.
If it's good enough for tractor tyres then a scabby little bike tyre won't cause much trouble 🤔
Depending on the hub, you will probably find the pawls are sticking closed.
Although emtb's give them freehubs a load of stick and they soon wear out in my experience.
If it uses pawls and you know what hub it is, then you can buy buy new ones and the spring fairly cheaply.
This is something that the home mechanic has no chance of successfully repairing if specialist like yourselfs won't takle it!
As per my PM, again many thanks for all the work involved and not giving in on the nightmare job!

I decided to take my fox 38s to bits and clean them out and change the oil.
It took me quite a while as they are over complicated compared to my old RS pikes.
Only one picture of the air tube as I spent most of the time covered in oil 🤣
Wow that looks a mess Peter!.
Seems like I wasted my time with the seal kit a few months back 🤔
Great pictures and diagnosis.
Do I need to sell the family jewellery?
Like you say it's never been pressure washed but it's been through plenty of water crossings.
It is an MTB that gets some stick...
There's some round the back of the first ski lift and if you go from that lift towards the hotel, there's a tunnel on the left side and then right takes you to the second lift and another load of tracks.👍
