Oil residue on right fork!

[Zutt]

Since I got the bike, whenever I come to clean or wipe down the bike, I find an oily ring on the right fork. I wipe it off, but a few days later (just by coincidence) I find that same oily ring is back there. It's usually in the middle of the right fork. No oil dripping or anything like that.
Is this normal?
Should I be taking it in?
Thanks.

It needs to be sorted. It is not hard to do, and you will probably take better care. I have performed it on various rides through the years and can vouch for how effective it is.

- works on all forks, regular or upside-down - street and offroad bikes alike.

Mine leak on both sides. Parts for a rebuild are in the bin in the garage. Part of the rebirth of 74.

As long as that is a seep i would wait till the end of riding season.

Bad fork seal for sure. Should be bone dry.

Is that a big job? Excuse my ignorance.

NOPE.
