Well both of mine are leaking. The bright side to this is, I get to replace the 5wt fork oil with 15wt.

After how many miles, one of my seals started leaking around 65k so both were replaced. Both of my seals started leaking again around 102k, but after riding with them leaking for a couple of weeks, they stopped leaking, weird. But I'm not complaining.
My bike has only 25k miles on it, due to work/schedule changes. I would have thought they would have lasted longer than that.
Mine only has 28K, but it is an '07; like tires, I'm wondering if the seals can give out just from age/sun/ozone/etc. What year is your bike, Dry Martini?
A lot of seal leaks are due to crap getting in-between the fork and seal.
This tool, Sealmate, has a pretty good success rate at fixing fork leaks.
If you can get your hands on 35mm film, its supposed to work as well if trimmed correctly...
I use a laminated business card lol..works great on both the oil n wiper seal
