Most leaks look much worse than they actually are. I have had to clean my seals several time sucessfully. It's worth a try. If your leak doesn't stop, then consider a replacement. You will change the fluid at that time anyway.

Thanks Joe.
occur should have also mentioned that the leak red while the back was tied-down in the back of my pickup. I don't "crank down" the straps when I load it up, to avoid fork seal damage. But it had been there for two days, and it left a small puddle'sa worth of oil. Plus, the forks are REAL soft now.
So I am guessing that I lost the majority of oil from that left fork. Crap.
