The wheel wobble issue has been mentioned before and if bearings etc are in order it's a case of keeping at least one hand on the handlebar. (Always a good idea anyway 
). I think it tends to develop as the tyres wear and made worse with the front unloaded a bit, i.e. with luggage on the back etc. Lots of bikes do it. Worst I had was a 1974 Triumph Trident with worn tyres and luggage. Fitting new tyres curred it for a while.
I don't think the weeping fork seal has anything to do with it but worth checking that the level in there is still o.k. anyway.
I like my Scottoiler (single feed) and original chain is still good after 33k miles. It developed a fault in that it doesn't always shut off when parked up so I fitted a tap in the supply pipe. I don't always have this extra tap turned on if the chain looks oily enough and the weathers dry. If I forget to turn it off I get oil on the floor. I just use 20w/50 engine oil in it that I have no other use for.
