Leaking Marzocchi fork

One of the legs of the fork has an oil leak and has much less resistance to compression than the other. I've used one of those plastic things to wipe the seal and pull up any debris, but no debris came up. It looks like a new seal is the way to go, but:

1. The seal says 24/34. 24mm is the inner diameter. A web search has not found this anywhere. Any ideas on what/where to get?
2. How do I remove the seal? I get the C-clip off OK, and remove the Schrader valve on the top of the fork, but can't figure out what next. Pulling the lower leg off and even hammering does not budge it.
3. If I find a new seal, can it just be pressed or tapped into place?
4. Etc.... this is my first suspension fork, so my learning curve is still on the uphill. Any other ideas on how to proceed?
