Forks Seals Leaking

[mxchamp85]

I recently got my bike back form the the shop after it had been in there for blown fork seals. After the first ride, i noticed that their was still oil leaking out of the seal. I know that i couldn't have already blown the seals, so i was wondering if this is common or not. Do forks uauslly leak out the excess oil the first couple of rides?

Your new seals shouldnt be leaking at all. either they screwed them up when they installed them or you have bad for tubes. Meaning there could be a scratch or groove in the tube. I would bring it back to the shop and ask them why there still leaking.
