Default Fork Leak ?

Hello, I Have a 03 wideglide and noticed today I have a leak at the very top seal of the fork tube (the seal right under the top brace). Is this a big repair I was wondering how involved this would be. Thanks Al

O-ring seal bad! It takes a 1 3/8 in six point shallow socket to take it off. I am getting ready to replace the fluid in my forks and just ordered the socket for this job. Twenty bucks from MAC Tools. The cap is under a lot of spring tension so when you remove be very carefull also putting it back on with the spring tension can be tough.
