In last couple of years I replaced at least 20 pairs of fork seals on different bikes I serviced and I mostly used ariete and athena seals. My secret is to shorten the springs in seals for about 10mm, none of them had leaking so far :cheers:

Col, as a try, check out sealmate or similar, could be dirty , maybe chrome sliders need a a good clean, scotchbrite light.Always try the easiest imo.
