Make sure that the brass washer is there and make sure you have the right metric bolt and put some teflon tape or liquid teflon on it and put it back in you should be alright.
That's the one...

Ok I will try out the teflon.... It is such a slow leak but over time he will have an issue! I did not notice a brass washer on either side of his...can not recall if they were on my bike either. I did pick up the right metric screw but the teflon I am sure will fix it.

Thanks, I knew I could get the answer here!!

Sometimes the washers will not come off with the screws, they will stick to the downtubes. You might want to check for that.

^ Plus one on the washer sticking to the lowers if one of them didn't come off I wouldn't have noticed them. Good luck the only thing that sucks it that you gotta dump the fork oil and it's always messy...
