fix it up because one day it will completly blow and you will be stuck right out somewhere and really they arent that expensive to replace a fork seal maybe even buy one of those seal cleners they are like a really thin piece of plastic that you can shove up into your seals because you might find that there is a bit of dirt or something that is stuck between the seals
 
Hello peoples,
Honda CB550, hasn't been ridden in forever, those dust covers over the front fork shock absorbers looked okay, but then I squashed down the suspension really tight to trailer the bike safely and I noticed there was oil oozing out from the little airholes in that dust cover on one side. I know I can rebuild it, probably for cheap, but I'm so busy I'm just wondering if it's a really bad idea to just put some oil in it and live with it for a while until I have more time to fix it. Would that be a bad enough idea to advise against?

Thanks,
--C
