I went to get my 2011 street glide ready for the road after the winter storage yesterday and noticed a small puddle of oil under the left side air shock does the air shock have oil in it ?
Or what else could this leak be from

Yes it does have oil in it, as all shocks do. If you have a warranty I suggest you get in touch with your dealer. If you don't have a warranty and sorting them out is down to you, to be frank they are not worth trying to repair, better to replace them, with a better shock.

There are tons of threads on HDF about shocks! Your dealer can supply direct replacements, they also have better quality replacements available, or you can look for aftermarket alternatives. Do you ride solo, or with a passenger?
