Default 2011 Ultra Classic with ABS

I am new to HD. I was trying to change front brake pad, and opened up the front right side caliper and some oil started to leak out from the small hole flat inside caliper surface.

Sounds as if you are doing this without referring to a service manual! There are screws that hold the caliper halves together and which shouldn't be disturbed, other screws alongside them retain the brake pads.
