Front fork seals leaking. Need information

[RocketFuture]

Hello fellow rocketeers! I had to ride on a gra

vel road a ways and noticed some grime on my forks which made me wonder if my seals are leaking a bit. I've noticed when it sits for a while there will be a small spot on the gravel where I park it. I assume this is something that I need to get fixed but can it wait until the end of season? What do I need to be on the lookout for? Any other advice or info? Thank in advance!

First try Seal cleaner like below and yes you can make them out of a plastic milk carton.

I guess should I stop riding until I can get fixed? I haven't noticed it affecting my braking but I'll take a look to see if it is getting on brakes. I just don't want it to run out of fluid and have something catastrophic happen. Is there a way to add fluid easily? Thanks!

Thanks I'll try that! I didn't notice it until riding on that gravel with a lot of dust maybe I just got them dirty! Thanks for the tip!
