I recently did a brake job, and I swear to you - hand to god, I had everything protected during the work. When I buttoned it all back up, everything was dry. I took it out for a longer ride last weekend, and notice when I stopped for gas, there was moisture all over the right side textured plastic panel. And then it basically bleached out, a lot like what happens with brake fluid. However, now my forks are leaking and I wonder if some of the fork oil might have shot up from below, versus me trying to search out leaks from the brakes.
