Well my 05' 888RC is leaking oil out of the right leg. I don't know why? It started happening after my accedent and I have hardly had any time on it. The fork feels fine, maybe a bit soft, but anyone know?

take the legs of. and check it your self but if you dont feel confident to do it your self have a bike shop look at it.

I can do it, but I don't know what I'm looking for. It was factory tuned and possibly overflow of oil.

If it is leaking out of the botttom, check the bottom foot nut for tightness and/or replace the o-ring on the nut.

As far as leaking around the seals, could need new seals, but more likely the seals are just contaminated.
To fix/check
1 remove wheel and brake caliper
2 flip bike over and let sit for a couple of minutesto get oil into uppers
3 remove both foot nuts and slide off lowers (oil will stay in uppers)
4 clean both seals (oil and dust wiper) on each side with at clean lint free cloth. Make sure that you do not get any dust/dirt in the lowers.
5 Apply a small amount of thin grease (prep M etc) to the gap between the oil seal and dust wiper to lube the seals.
6 carefully slide lowers back on, paying attention to the seals
7 tighten foot nuts and re-install break and wheel and go ride

If you see anything wrong with the seal like a cut, or the above dous not stop the leaking, you need new seals.
