Fork seals leaking @19,000 miles on ODO

Yes, definitely pull the dust seal up. You can't access the actual seal lip unless you do. You will probably find a puddle of dirty oil that you want to clean out first.

When you're done, wipe some WD40 or silicone spray on the fork tubes occasionally. That may help keep dried on mud or dead bugs from causing the problem again.
