Fork seals leaking

Hi I'm having problems with one of my fork seals leaking I've replaced it two times now last seal was a Honda one still won't seal any ideas . When I shine a light down the fork stanchon there looks to be a groove on the in side is this normal . Cheers

Mag1:
The top of the forks must be either grooved from previous owners removing seals with screwdrivers etc. Or your stanchions must be worn, measure the diameters of each. Don't know if there are tolerance in the manual

Show us a photo yozzer

Bryanj:
I used to see lots of fork sliders damaged by idiots with big screwdrivers, if that's the problem you can carefully dress off sharp edges on the groove(s) with a file then fill the groove with silicone before inserting a(nother) new seal. it works 95% of the time

adriangsmith:
I had this problem once.
Turned out I'd fitted the seal upside down.
LOL!
