brake or fork oil ?
#1
Bit strange this...checking the bike over a few weeks back and I notice offside front caliper is soaked in what looks brake fluid.looks like its been sprayed on, cant see any obvious leaks and the reservoir is more or less full....a closer look this evening and the inside of the fork leg is also wet...so iam now thinking the fork seals are weeping, dripping onto the wheel and then coating the caliper as the wheel turns.........to rule out any brake problems ive made up some wooden brake padsĀ  :rolleyes and clamped the lever to the bar to create a bit of pressure, will leave over night and check in the morning.

anyone have fork seals go like this ?
