Yesterday I changed the Doughty washer at the bottom of the RHS fork slider. Used a long length of welding rod up through the hole in the bottom of the slider, dropped the washer over it, then poked the welding rod up the hole in the damper assy - that allowed me to replace the slider, and make sure the washer stayed in the right place. It worked, and no leak now. (Then had several pints of Green King IPA (£2.80/pint) in the village pub :beerchug ).

Today must be the first in almost 2 months that it has been above freezing. We've had the coldest winter on record. The 'bikes are dripping with condensation in the garage as the warmer air hits cold metal...not good!
I'm going to try to wipe the water off to keep my Tiger's chrome and alloy shining..
I have the same problem with condensation in my garage. I don't ride my Bonnie over winter, so what I do is spray it all over with WD-40 in autumn - paint, wheels, chrome & ally- in the spring I polish it off, and it has remained gleaming for several years now.
