    What's your budget?
    (Personally, i would be looking at something like a Reba, but you are looking at something around the £250 mark).

    If the current fork is handling what you throw at it, and it is just the leaking that is the problem, it may be worth seeing if it is cheaper to fix what you have in the short-term.

    100 mm QR 1 1/8 steerer?

    have a look at CRC and their Manitou marvel pro forks - you'll not get anything lighter or better for the money
