New rotors and pads + fork oil=

Recently added some of those Bremzen front rotors and some Galfer pads to the bike. I was pretty sure I had them bedded in good so I went on a nice long ride Sunday. As I was riding I noticed that the brakes didn't really seem better than stock, if anything they were worse. When I arrived home and got to looking at the front end I noticed my forks are leaking pretty bad.
So now I'm wondering did the oil cause my brakes to suck pretty bad or was it due to them being poorly bedded in.:banghead:
As bad as it is I'm sure the rotors have oil on them. My concern is can I still save the rotors and pads if they are contaminated with oil or what?
 
oil can be cleaned/wiped off, but i would stop riding it untill u rebuild or replace ur forks, either a simple dusk seal or bent inner tube,
 
The rotors yes I think you can most def clean with solvent and keep them but if the pads have soaked up any oil I'm not sure ?
