#373506 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   Noticed a Clear odorless oil on back of front fender. There are no signs of leaks for the brake lines or fork seals or anywhere else obvious. Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this?   Logged     “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373523 NICKHEAD (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 263 Re:Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   I'd be checking the brake fitting under the trees, I know you say you don't see any leaks, may only leak when being applied.. You'll know when the brake fluid takes the paint off the fender. That is, if it's brake fluid.   Logged     Too Many Mods...Not Enough Money   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373524 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 2972 Re:Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   NICKHEAD wrote: I'd be checking the brake fitting under the trees, I know you say you don't see any leaks, may only leak when being applied..

The other thing is, it's not just in one spot like it drpped, is spread evenly all over the rear of the front fender. I went and took another look and notice a little wetness on the valve cover of the front cylinder, so I'm thinking that it might be happening while on the freeway under load. It's possible there's a low pressure area behind the front wheel that's sucking any spray from the valve cover on to the fender. I'll have got wipe it down and check again, hopefully then I'll be able to better see where it's coming from. Just wanted to see if it was a common problem that others had heard of.   Logged     “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373592 mkayx (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1125 Re:Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   you would know if it were brake fluid due to the fact it would take paint right off the fender fork oil would be my guess   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #373595 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 Re:Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   mkayx wrote: you would know if it were brake fluid due to the fact it would take paint right off the fender fork oil would be my guess That's kind of what I was thinking too... I've dealt with break fluid leaks in the past and that stuff was like paint stripper. This has been there a couple days now, I left it to show a local mech and it's not effected the paint.   Logged     “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373689 ahamay (User) I got mine, did you get yours? Platinum Boarder Posts: 1828 Re:Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   Mine was doing the same thing. The fluid is coming from the area where the brake lines split to go to the front disk. I just snugged it up a bit and the leak quit.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #373697 Tigers67 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 136 Re:Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   It could be coming from the rear resivour or line spraying foward when under presure maybe as it's the right height to hit the front fender   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #373707 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Clear odorless oil on back of front fender 1 Year ago   If it isn't brake fluid it sounds to me like you rode through something on the road and it slung it up on those areas. Clean it up and take a nice long ride and see if it comes back.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #373712 OK, just JB..
