Fork seals are leaking after installation.

Verify that the fork seals were installed correctly and are the appropriate type for the fork tubes. Inspect the surface of the new fork tubes for any imperfections that might damage the seal. Ensure the fork tubes are clean and free from debris before seal installation.
