Default 93' F2 Forks Help

Haven't been on here in a while, anyways when i throw up the pictures for this main thread i'll throw up some pics of what my bike is looking like now. I've had the chinese fairings (repsol) on my F2 and she looks amazing. well back to the topic.. my mechanic saw my front forks and noticed the right one is leaking oil or maybe im guessing it's filled with gunk and rain water cuz the seal is messed up not too sure, anyways he says to fix my forks it would be around $250 but i know its only the right one that needs fixing but im not sure what exactly what needs fixing i was hoping someone here knows the problem and could tell me exactly what's up. Also i've noticed when im going slow and hold in the front brake the handlebars feel weird not wobbly at a dangerous level but they're sort of moving by themselves idk how to explain it. so i'm guessing again that has something to do with the forks and would be the only reason as to why i would need to fix both forks

Several items need to be checked. Front bearings, steering head bearings, and brake rotors. Any of these could cause wobbling at any speed. Since you are holding the front brake on, I would suspect warped rotors.

as for your forks leaking, there is a thread on replacing your seals.... ill see if I can find it.
As for your wobble, I agree, its probably your rotors as it happens primarily when your braking. definitely check all bearings though.
