Default Fork seals?

Put a couple 100k on this weekend, some detours due to the bad weather we had Friday with Hydro lines down and tonnes of trees. Long story short ended up on some rough back roads.

I notice some oily **** on my left front fork... I'm gonna assume it's leaking

Here's the question... Can I drive it like this for a bit?? Or get it done ASAP??

Only asking cause I have a trip planned this weekend by bike if I can ...

Ideas and Thoughts Please!!!

Get it done ASAP.

But... how bad is it leaking? We have all ridden on forks putting off a little moisture. If it's leaking bad enough to get fluid everywhere and on the brake and tire, don't ride it.

I checked them, the cylinder is just damp, it's not running down the fork at all

My local bike guy told me to stop by he's gonna give me his professional opinion
(He does this cause he knows I'll pay him to fix it!!!)

He's putting my lowering kit in the first week of August so hopefully they can wait and do it then..
