Fork seals - weeping

Questions...., after riding yesterday i have noticed that the front left fork is weeping. The Right is not as bad but looks like the both will need to be done.
in the photos you can see the pooling and oil has been blown onto the fairing (not from squirting but from riding).
I was going to drop into the suspension joint this week, so riding on it as is can this cause more damage or should i pull them out now??

Any thoughts?

Did the "Seal Mate" clean but that didn't do anything either.

If your taking it straight to the shop you shouldn't have a drama as long as the oil isn't leaking enough to get into your brakes or your front tyre. Just be safe

Thanks Blurr, looks like it hasn't hit the brakes or tyre yet thankfully.
