Fork seals leaking @19,000 miles on ODO

That is correct. What I found is that those dust seals didn't do a very good job in really dusty environments. Dust and dirt eventually made its way under the dust seals and into the fork seals.

When you use the gadget, you raise the dust seal up the fork tube, then insert the plastic tool between the actual fork seal and the tube. There's a video on the website that shows the procedure.
