Mine don't. They're the Reba race with poploc so the top of the rh leg is the lockout and blowout gate adjuster.

I have Reba race forks on my hardtail, no sign of any oil coming out anywhere.

Tis a little strange.
Have you tried: http://www.sram.com/en/service/rockshox/faq.php

I have Rebas, as do two friends, no oil leaking on any of them.

There should not be any oil in the top section of the fork to leak out.
If you service them you put a dash to fit ontop of the air piston to work as lube, but that's about it.
It is possible that an internal seal has failed or is mis-placed as there is some oil in the lowers for the wiper seals etc.
To understand what I'm on about, there's a servicing guide here:

I just got my Recons delivered :-)
Noticed that there is about 1cm travel with the lockout on. Ok?
Also, what is this "blow-off" valve? Where is it? How does it work? Can/should I adjust it?
And... what is the difference between the "preload" dial on the top left fork and the "rebound" nut at the bottom of the same fork?
Thanx

Yes, they will move a little with the lockout on.
No idea what a blow-off valve is for. Maybe it's for those really big hits?
Preload will be either compressing the internal spring or possibly even reducing the size of an air chamber and the rebound adjuster is for the damping.
BTW I sent my Rebas back to Fisher Outdoor Leisure who repaired them properly and sent them back in a week. Haven't tried them yet but there was a note about a leaking seal repaired. They were extremely helpful and sympathetic when I emailed and told them how unhappy I was.
