Did it get very wet? You need to be a bit careful with those because the upper legs can corrode.

If it is air blowing past the leg seals that’s bad because means other stuff can get sucked in.

I live in Scotland, there's your answer

I wanted to ride it tomorrow at Glentress. Reckon I should risk it or cancel the trip?

Stick the forks upside down then use the pointy end of a zip tie to make a gap between the seal and the upper leg. See what if anything comes out. Should be clean thick oil.

I’d ride them. They probably need a lowers service and new damper oil.
