old bike -low budget

My ElectraGlide Classic is 12 years old now, with 72k mi on it.Lots of little things are starting to go wrong with it. I try to fix what I can by myself 'cause of the cost. It's newest ailment is oil runnin down the fork tube. Got all over the fender and pipes and everything. Are there o-rings or seals in there that I can replace at home ? Or is there some "special tool "you need to buy? Any advise or info is greatly appreciated.See More
