Ive just noticed oil deposits around my fork seal area.
How difficult a job is it to replace them and when i do what sort of oil (and amount) do you recommend?

You might get a really thin feeler gage and run it around the inside of the fork seals between the fork leg and the seal.

Quite often solves the problem.
