That's a common temporary bodge, usually done just before you head for the MOT if you have a slight weep. Can't see the pont though if the seals aren't leaking 🤔🤔🤔🤔 or the forks are out of oil 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I understand the bodge, but there are no leaks, as can be seen in photo No old staining on the paper I just don't understand why do it in the first place when its not needed ?????
