As a quick fix I have just added oil, before a ride. Then next time it sits no oil.
I think it justs gets a little dirt under a seal, causes a leak.

It's a actually a pretty easy fix to replace the seal. The seal on the strut is a little more involved, but the hub seal in more common to see leak from. I find anyway

Take it apart yourselfm if everything is working fine its a pretty cheap fix. Check the sleeve that the seal rides on, on the strut. If its grooved or worn, you can replace this also when you change the seal. They are just CR seals and a good bearing supplier can get them real cheap.
