Subject: Rebuilt front forks

Just installed progressives, seals and oil(10wt). Now I understand that a XII can handle the twisties, nice! I was a little dissapointed in the continued dive when braking, and ended up with 10# of air, which helps. But, I'm getting just a little bit of oil past the seals on the sliders(both the same), which I never had before. The old oil was not real dirty, but it seemed there was not a lot of it. I'm wondering, is there a break in period for the new seals? Or too much oil? Or, cut back on the pressure? I'm pretty sure I did everything right, and added oil to 6.25" from top fully collapsed without the big spring. I did not put any sealant 'behind' the seals, because there was not any evidence from the originals. I did lube with wd40 before seating them in the outers. Thanks in advance for any advice on the matter.
