Guess it depends on the fork brand... Some are known for blowing seals, others are known for blowing other seals.

If you think your fork is suspect, just bring a spare?
Would be easier and cleaner to mount a spare than to rip your fork apart in a hurry if you're not sure what's broken.

normal procedures include changing springs and heat shrinking springs for the course (weekly) and changing out dust wipers when needed. if i change the wipers i will change the bath oil at the same time. the only other task that usually happens to race forks is stanchion damage.
