ok so after doing some reading about the types of forks and suspensions I found out that the HL zoom 565 on my bike is a coil fork not an air fork, the kind of damage on the stanchion that I was worried about only effects air forks since they make an opening in the seal and the pressured air starts to escape from the seal.

this doesn't seem the case with coil forks, since they have a spring inside, even if the scratch or dent is big, it really doesn't matter since the seals are only made to keep dirt out and not to keep the air inside.
I also discovered that although coil suspensions are less adjustable and don't give the same nice ride as air suspension, they require way less maintenance and even when their oil or grease dries up they will still function as long as the spring inside is functioning. this is good to know since if I ever upgrade my fork I'll go with a high end coil suspension since spare parts and seals are rare here.

anyway today I had some free time where I cleaned and lubed the bike and I opened the seals around the fork to add oil and grease to it. suprsingly even though it's a coil suspension, it seam to have double seal, not a O sponge filled with oil, but instead there is grease entrapped between the outer dust seal and the inner one.
I will post pics of how it looks from inside later.
