I got some enduro seals for my Super T about 4 weeks ago, put them in, and they worked great for a few weeks. after the ETSU race, which was really really muddy. i noticed a few streaks of mud on the stanchions that wasnt getting cleaned off by the seals. then i just noticed recently that there is a small amount of oil that gets left on the stanchions when you cycle the fork. Its a thin film that goes almost all the way around. the inside of the seals appear normal except for a few marks. nothing that looks like it would be causing oil to leak. is that seal shot already?

i dont think he insalled them properly. thats kinda hard to do, even i have put them in, only after riping some thin metal stuff. u might have gotten some dirt on them while they were being installed, but its not normal for seals to just go in a few weeks, unless there made by risse (sarcasim).
do what zedro sugested and see if you can get another set, if not for free then for cost.
