Dropped bike and oil from fork - what to do?

[Callist]

Hi,

I had a little incident where my bike was dropped at low speeds (< 15mph) and after a day I noticed the front right fork had oil leaking down onto the brake discs and tyre. I assume a fork component is damaged but which component is the likely culprit and how could I go about investigating the exact damaged component?

Thanks.

P.S. They are USD forks.

Assuming you haven't got a hole or fracture in the bottom part of the fork, you should take a look at the stanchions and see if you've got any dents or scratches. Also take a look at the dust covers and seals.

might of knocked the seal out of shape and allowing a bit of oil to leak out but as mr fro said check the fork leg condition to make sure its not damaged and then fit new seals on both forks

Thank you both. I'll take a look at these in the morning and see what condition they are in.
