On the rear axle one is a nut, the other is the bolt head. I found the adjusters seemed backward to me. No big deal, they just didn't do what I expected.
Leaking fork seals doesn't sound good. I too have always had old bikes & have done all my own wrenching. I am after all a mechanic even if it is on cars. As soon as I got my bike to the shop after leaving the Dealership, it had oil all over it. I found a banjo fitting with trash under it, Removed the tank & fixed it myself the same day I bought it. No way is it going back to the Dealer unless something is broke. Took it in for the $180.00 oil change. I had already changed it twice myself. I just wanted it on their books. I will try the valve adjustment myself at first. If I can't do it then I will take it in. I figure I am a better mechanic than they are.
So go to it. I can't see any difference in this bike than any other. Except for the differences.
