I'm afraid it sounds like new oil seal time 🙁

Depending on what you've done in the past spanner wise, I wouldn't consider replacing fork seals that difficult of a job, at least you don't have any fancy electronic adjustment devices attached to these forks like some modern bikes have. I bet that you'll find some 'how to thread' on here or at least some good tips/pictures on how to go about it.

As earthman says it ain't rocket science
You need a long Allen key for the bottom bolt. This is best loosened before you take the tops off as the spring tension holds the damper rod from spinning
An impact wrench is also good for the bottom bolt
I use an Allen key that has had the long end cut off held in a small socket
Other than that the only bit that could be described as needing a special tool is for drifting the new seal in
I use a bit of ABS plastic drain pipe with a straight coupler on the end which is the right size

Plenty of generic "how to's" on YouTube. Wouldn't be surprised if there were also LC2 specific ones too, altough it may take some searching.
