I noticed a puddle of oil around my front tire this morning..
Fork seals gave it up over night..

Has anyone replaced these?
How much work is involved and is there a step by step anywhere on the net?

Around your tire? If your fork seals break, it's not going to drain out the bottom. Check the bolt on the bottom of the forks, maybe it's loose... If the seals are going, they won't just drain the oil.
