Hello I just posted this advice for another member. You need to inspect your guide bushings they are teflon coted and if the teflon is peeling at ALL you need to replace them as a set when you replace the seals. If not you will be leaking again in no time. The bushings are not so much lubed by the oil they are already slippery thats why the wear surface is coated with teflon. But you get really shitty dampining when your fork oil height is low not to mention you are killing your pads and rotors. You need to replace your pads and sweat your rotors if seals have been leaking long.
