Headed for California with a problem!

As I loaded up my KTM 990 to head for 2 months in Palm Desert, I spotted a nice puddle of oil on the swing arm - presumably from a leaking rear shock seal. I loaded up anyway and now will arrive with a busted bike. Any advice from KTM savvy members would be helpful. I've had some previous dealings with the local dealer, and not sure I would let them at the bike - but could be wrong.
A rebuild is beyond my wrenching abilities and I have no place to work anyway. I could remove it if sending it off is a good idea.
