Thanks Pindie. You saved me time, money, and a headache! Your advice to simply clean the seals worked! I used a thin piece of plastic cut from a retail package blister pack. Slid the dust cover up the leg, used the plastic to wipe out the inside edge of the dust cover first... man was it dirty! Then, removed the metal clip, wiped inside edge of the seal, pumped the forks, and repeated this 5 times. The puddle of oil oozing past the seal slowly stopped.
