Thanks FJ and JerryHawk! I youtubed the sealmate device and saw how it was used, then cut one from a plastic bottle. That seems to have stopped it. And my seals still look to be in great condition.

Now I just don't know how much oil I've lost. I'm going to investigate by opening both caps and trying to use a measuring stick, compare the leaked oil level to the other and add to the leaky side until it matches, then I don't have to do a half fork rebuild where I don't have proper space or tools.

The local shop offered to do it for $40US, but that's kinda pricey around the parts, or more likely... traveling this part of the world has made me a cheap-skate.
