Leak in front forks .

Doesnt seem very bad at all ,If it sets over a couple days there is a spot the size of a Quarter. and I wiped hand under fork and it was wet. so yes sounds like a seal. but if Im taking apart. may look at differant springs. t6hinking out loud !!!! Any and ALL help welcome !!!!

YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE WHERE THE OIL IS COMING FROM. THERE IS A BOLT IN THE VERY BOTTOM of the fork just above the front axle that has a copper washer on it.if that is leaking it will come out the bottom. if the seal is leaking it will come out at the bottom of the top fork tube. make sure you are not leaking at brake calipers.
