if its the very bottom of the fork there is a bolt at the bottom that probably needs to be tightened. no more than 15-18lb-ft of torque.

I was told the bolt and washer can be replaced with out removing the fork. True or Farse? I have new seals but will probably have to order the copper washer for the 6 mm bolt.

Yes you can replace the 6mm bolt with the fork intact. I would recomend to NOT jack up the front to take the pressure off the springs inside. Remove the bolt first.
You will want to jack it up to put the oil back in that fork leg so as too remove pressure on the springs inside when you remove the fork cap.
You sure the oil is not coming from the seal ,,,, ? Perhaps raise the fork boot and see if any oil around the seal.

The bolts on the rear of the bottom of the forks I believe is to drain the fork oil, there are allen bolts in the very bottom of the forks that hold the dampening rods I belive. Before doing any work on a fork bleed all air out of the air valve on top. I did not do this and removed the drain bolt and it was under great pressure, got my face/eyes full of ATF.
