Default Leaky Front Fork

i just took my bike out of winter storage. It had been sitting in a unheated shed all winter (saskatchewan winter), the snow just melted and its starting to get warmer (10 degrees celcius) so i got the itch and pulled it out, when i got it home and into the garage i put it on the rear stand, cleaned the chain, lubed it up, and changed the oil. I noticed once i was done with all this there was a small puddle of oil (the size of a quarter) underneath my front left fork. When i put it in storage at the end of last season there was no leaks, should this be something to worry about? or could it just be a one time leak in the seal becuase its just expanding from the change in temperature? (taking it from unheated shed to heated garage) ... i moved the bike after words to a different spot in the garage and its not leaking while it just sits there, only right after i had parked it after driving it home...

the forks are the easiest things to rebuild... might just be the oil seal
