So now that my carbs are good, as recommended I am going to do the film thing to clean my left leaking fork seal before I consider replacing both. A couple of questions please:
1) Do I need to pull the dust seal off before I go in and scrape with the film? Or just slide the film with the dust seal on as-is?
2) My seal leaks only if I don't ride the bike for a few days!! If I ride it everyday the leak never manifests itself. I check before and after ever ride. The leak is about 3-5 drops and shows up if I let the bike sit for more than 3 days. Why?
You might want to try this technique first.
