Oil leak from forks

[Anonymous]

I`ve changed to new oil seal on both fork, and put on new fork oil, but on my test drive today, there were coming a lot of oil up from the dust seal cover. Why ???? Could it be a little to much oil in the fork? or are there other possebilities???
Anyone that have some tips ???

How did the rest of the fork parts look, aside from the oil seals ? I spent almost 1500,- nok on parts for my forks - most of what was in there was rusted to bits.

The parts looks perfect for me, no scratches or other damages. It looks like it leaks less after a longer test drive.
( Have to look/test more tomorrow and see if the leak stops)
The strange thing is that it looks like it leak the same volume from each fork.

do you, by chance, install them upside down?

OK, there must have been to much oil in the forks. I`ve test the bike on a long ride today, and after a few kilometers the leak stopped and are now excelent. Thank you for your support.

I've read that if you don't have the same exact amount of oil in each fork, that you can bend your front axle. You should check them for the proper amount as recommended.
