Fork seal only weeps when parked?

Gave it a go yesterday, trickier than I thought to get that seal saver all around the seal, but I managed to do it twice with a few starts and stops. Didn't find any nicks, did find a few lumps from dead bugs, but these were down at or below bottom out, so probably not the issue. Finished things off with some race tech fork lube worked into the seals, wiping off the excess and putting it all back together. I suspect this will buy me a little time, but it's probably time to service the forks / shock again.
 
Well so far so good, I've ridden the bike a fair bit and I'm not getting any oil on the leg and things look nice and dry.
