had one leaking on my valk.  the seal mate tool actually worked.

I used a Seal Mate too, many times, one side worse than the other.  I tried hard to get any crud out I could each time I used it.

But months later, the leak would return, usually on the worse side (first just a wet slider, then maybe a few drips running down). 

Still, after some 4 years, I never lost enough total fluid to really feel any loss of function.

Finally, Big Bill rolled up in my driveway and fixed them properly.  (I couldn't)

I "built" the little seal mate out of some plastic from a margarine container lid, worked great on the magna, extended the fork life two years at least. We got a lot of shittty roads and gravel round here.
