Default Front Fork Leak

I have a small leak coming from the top of my front fork on my 2002 Susuki Intruder VS800GL. It is at the very top of the fork just under the bolt head. It is just a drop that builds up until the wind blows it on my shirt. How do I stop that leak? Can it be tightened or will something need replacing? Thanks for any help

there is an o-ring under the fork cap- take the weight off the front wheel so the forks hang free, unscrew the cap, and replace the o-ring. Part number 51117-39A00, about $1.75, or sometimes you can find one the right size at the ACE hardware for a quarter.
