Fork Oil???

[Paul Mc]

I have a 2018 Road King Special.  A few days ago after a ride, I noticed a small spot of oil on my garage floor just below the left front fork.  After inspection, I found that the oil was dripping from the left front fork just below the axle nut, so I'm assuming it's fork oil.  However, the fork sliders from top to bottom are completely dry.  The only place on the fork that's wet is just at the lower end of the fork.  It's got me baffled. I can't even find the drain screw, or I'd make sure that that's tight.  Help!!!

Check for melted grease from the bottom bearing in the neck stem.

Yup, that. It's been discussed here a few times.

I'd check the bolt at the very bottom of the fork (it screws into the damper tube inside the fork).  You will have to remove the front wheel to gain access.  Since it is directly under one fork that is where I would look.

  Exactly what I found a while back when I thought I had a fork seal leak..

Thanks for all your help.  I'm going to take off the front wheel and have a look.
