If they're on a bike under warranty the seals will be replaced FOC by the dealer

Ohlins forks come with leaky seals as standard!

Ohlins chage their seals a year or so ago. They now have a dust cover flange as well as two seal flanges (or whatever the correct terminology is- time to wake up Shazaam I think!). Like most rubber compounds they are prone to damage so the dust cover helps, plus they will harden over time especially if used intermittently.

Kais did mine for £100 off the bike. Kais I have always found to be excellent.
