Very common problem this. Definitely due to reduced pressure cause by the cold. Don't use any kind of mineral based oil or grease. It'll appear to fix the problem, but will, in fact, cause the seals to deteriorate and make the problem worse (That includes WD40).

Replacement parts are widely available SGS stock XC compatible parts for £13.99 +VAT a pop click, of course, you'll need a pair and teir delivery is a bit steep (perhaps they'll do a combined shipping deal?)
