Hmm, so my right fork oil seal began weeping today, what a lovely coincidence!
OEM seals ordered...

Can it kill me by riding it or just get oil on my brake pads in the worst case scenario?

Interesting though that measuring my static sag and rider sag (yesterday) I have 20 mm static and 32 mm rider sag. Would that indicate my springs are correct (or even too stiff), aren't they? Maybe they aren't OEM though (bike is 2nd hand with unknown history)...
