All the above.. I made a tool that clamps to the fork tube that allows you to remove or refit the cap without the spring giving you drama

On my 2000 FXDWG the chrome bolt goes through aplate, then into the fork cap. I was able toclean the seal and get it yo re seat. Sealjob was done 2 years ago. So can i add maybe a 1/2 ounce of oil through the top?

I find removing the seals and the washers after adjusting the oil put ptfe tape on the threads of the bolts much better job.

If you’re doing all this, you might want to change out the old scummy oil that HD puts in at the factory.
