Default Fork seals

After practiceing some wheelies today I have noticed some oil on top of my forkseals. Dose this mean that there blown out or do they just seep a little. I'd say i did around thirty wheelies and only came down hard once..

Blown & it will get worse. Replace them as a set. Good news now is you can choose the ideal weight for the oil & maybe (if you can afford it), some after market mod goodies.

what would be the ideal weight for the oil. Assuming one is pulling wheelies a good bit.

One more?

if I plan on practiceing some more should I wait to replace the seals or would it cause damage in doing so for a lil while. I dont want to replace them and blow them out again before i get it down..

My left seal is leaking aswell, had the bike almost 2 years/20,000km's and its just blown, lots of wheelies. I'd say replace yours to be on the safe side.

Anyone got a link on "how to" replace them?

edit: no links?
