Yep, i would guess seals as well. Probably running down the back of the fork.

Did u put the copper washers on the drain screws? If you don't see any evidence on the fork tubes, like a ring of dirt/oil, then there's only 2 places they could leak. Drain screws or 6mm socket at the bottom. I'd bet its just the seals though.
