I´ve had a leak before. I simply cleaned it with a thin piece of plastic, here´s how.
- Pull up the plastic mudguard around the fork.
- Use a flathead screwdriver to pry up the top black seal on the fork (I don´t remember the name).
- Use a thin piece of plastic to pull out any dirt. Use a swiping motion coming up. The plastic needs to be thin, think laminated paper.
- Put the fork seal back on, it´ll click back in with some pressure.

That´s it, worked for me. A mechanic said the seal would need replacing, but he was wrong. Apparently this easy fix will often save you having to replace a seal, good luck.
