They may have installed the new seal upside down. Don't ask me how I know that this might be the cause of the leaking.Snip ........ And the folk seal they just replaced, failed on the trip home

Sprung an Oil leak

Well I have replaced the rocker cover gasket and this seems to have helped with the oil issue! just need to sort the fork seals now.
Sometimes it's some dirt/grit that gets between the seal and the fork that causes a leak. Get a thin piece of plastic stiff enough to get down between the seal and fork and work it around and up. It might draw out the contamination allowing the seal to work again.

It's a brand new seal
I just had the garage fit it. I got 15 mins down the road before I saw it leak again. I've brought a genuine Honda kit now and will do it myself has its the easy side. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Again, they probably put it in backwards. Remove the leaky seal and inspect before you buy some new Honda seals. The seal in there is probably still good if it was installed backwards.

If it is in backwards how dose it affect it, when you look at it, there seems to be no reason why they shouldn't work either way?
