Woe and behold i found some 35 mm film at work. I removed the sharp edges and cut a small "hook" and proceeded to slide it between the seal and fork several times and in both directions.
I didnt notice any grime that came out.
Between each run id compress the forks and wipe them dry off oil.
Now it seems that the leak has gotten much less ie. there'd be less and less oil left on the fork every time i compressed and wiped.
Quick question...are the forks supposed to be complety stone-dry every time theyre compressed and rebound?
I might have fixed the problem, and the little oil showing might be the residual oil caught between the seal and fork.
I dont know for sure
P.S
I appreciate the help fellas!
