front end leak
I had to drop my bike off at the dealer today for them to fix a leak on the left side fork. Think it is just a bad seal, question is should I go ahead and have them put new seals in the right side even though it is not leaking, or take the wait and see approach? It is on a 2000 RK with 30,000 miles.

Definitely do both. Not sure what your mileage is but when you do a fluid change always do both seals. Trying to save the $20 in parts/seals isn't worth having to re-do the $150-200 job again to replace the seals when you find out they were worn.

By the time I made it to the dealer today it was a pretty good leak, you could see what I would consider a large amount of fluid on the lower leg so I dont want to push it. I havent had the bike a month yet so this kinda makes me worry about what might be next. I guess its a good thing I got the 1yr service plan.
