Front fork Leakage or ???

[OakLeaf]

til Deb gets here - I only know oil-damped motorcycle forks, so my opinion is probably worthless But anyway, on standard m/c forks, replacing fork seals isn't technically difficult, but it's fairly involved. So you may want to let the shop take care of it. Keeping the inner fork legs clean and free of rust will help seals last longer. If you notice any rust or pitting on the forks, smooth it off with Scotch-Brite and a little WD-40.


EDIT/correction:

I got curious and started looking at seal installation manuals, there are several manuals available online. The particular procedure (as with anything) depends on your fork manufacturer and may also depend on what brand of seals you buy, but the general procedures should be the same for most manufacturers on standard forks, so you can look at some manuals and decide whether it's something you want to attempt. Upside-down cartridge forks may be somewhat more difficult to service.
