Have you tried cleaning the seals to see if that stops the leaking? You can make one from something like milk jug plastic, but here's what I'm talking about:

Cool. I haven't had any leak since I found out about the cleaning, so I haven't had a chance to try it.

Spent most of today building fence. But I was able to squeeze in a bit of triple wrenching....the plan for tomorrow after feeding the Baby Mommas is to continue the fork seal.job.

These are fun things - good for you. Seals are easy so I don't think twice about doing them :thumbup: These newer bikes -- not so easy :thumbdown:

The late model EX forks are the bushing type forks, so they are a little more hateful. You have to install the seals (I have the special tool) with the forks completely assembled. Hopefully I can get them done today.

ahhh did not notice that. I bought a tool for my upside-down (modern-ish) forks - same deal.
