    I cleaned some of it off earlier, it then reappeared. That's not a fork seal on it's way is it?

  5. Just dirt or dirt in the seal?

  6. If You cleaned both sides then this appeared on just one side you've a small amount of seepage.
    This can normally be sorted by using the tool in the other thread.

  8. Arse!

    I'll grab one of those tools then and have a dig around :) I did run through some water last weekend running off a drive, unbeknown to me until I got back they were washing friggin cement off the drive, bike was absolutely plastered....still cleaning it up now. Wonder if that might have done it as it was fine last weekend :( Ah well.

    Thanks for the help :)

  9. Mine used to do the same, was normally combination of road grime, little oil from heavy use and dirt. If its not pouring down the leg just give it a wipe ;)
