851 SP2 Fork seals

Went to check the tyre pressures the other day and noticed the front tyre had quite a lot of slippery oil on it. I'm guessing it's from the fork seals. Is replacing these a job that a less then average mechanic (i.e. me) can do, does it need any special tools, or should I take the bike to a specialist ? Also, is it safe to ride if it's started to leak oil - for instance, I wouldn't want it to leak banked over in a corner - don't want the front end to slide now, do I !
