    I installed the red fork seals from Len. I've done this a few times (once on mine and a few on others). after mounting the tire the forks are leaking oil. everything went smooth, I don't know what went wrong.
    any help on this would be great.
    I'm stuck 3 hours from home.

    as far as I can tell they are right side up. I polished and cleaned the forks prior to reassembly. I used 230cc of fork oil, as per spec.

    Both leaking? Still away from home base? How long before they started leaking? How bad is the leak?
