2015 Ultra Limited: Leaking front brake caliper

So I go to take the bike out for a short ride after getting all the other chores done around the house yesterday.

I pull the cover off, and look down at the front wheel to find a puddle of brake fluid on the ground. I straighten up the bike and look at the brake fluid reservoir and sure enough what's left in there all but disappears.

Get out a rag and start looking for the source and it looks like it's leaking from somewhere inside where the brake pad is.

Has anybody else encountered anything similar?
I did a search, but nothing recent is turning up.

Is there anything I can check or is taking it to a dealer and bending over my only option?

Just my luck to get a bad caliper...

Thanks!

If the bike is no longer covered under warranty I would suggest either a rebuild kit (which are only a few o-rings available on e-bay) or buying a new take off from a member on the forum. Replacing the orings are pretty straight forward.
