Fork seals are no big task if you have any hands on knowledge at all you should be able to do it in a few hours. Hope this helps.

The fork seals need to be rebuilt and this will need to be done by a bike mechanic unless you are real mechanical and yes I would not ride it until it is fixed and you don't want to damage anything in the forks by riding it real hard.
