I wouldn't bother adding any oil. If the leak is big enough to make a significant difference in the oil level, it's making a huge mess anyway and needs to be fixed.
As the oil level drops, the forks will get ever so slightly softer. You'd have to lose ALOT of oil before you could feel a difference tho.

It has already been mentioned, but unless the forks seals are damaged I usually just disassemble them, clean and put a little grease on the seals and dust seals then reassemble. Sometimes when you overdo the grease it will leak seep for a ride or two, but they usually seal right back up.
