Shock oil leak

[bjager87]

Today went into my garage and notices a small wet spot by my front tire. the left front shock is leaking very slightly, but im not sure what made it leak all of a sudden cause i havn't rode and a week, and it wasn't there yesterday. I'm just a beginner and i dont know much about bikes so I need some help on how to fix this. My bike is a 2002 KTM 125sx.

Thnx

The two "shocks" on the front of your bike are called forks. Just incase you confuse a dealer or something when you take them in to get the seals redone. First take a negative film strip from when you get your pictures developed and tooth brush. Pop the dust seal off with a small screw driver carefully though not to rip it. Spray contact clean all in there and clean it out with the tooth brush. Then take the film strip and wrap it around the fork and stick it up there and turn it. Doing this ill get any peices of dirt out and it might stop leaking.
