Default Front forks?

Quick question. I have a 2007 Night train that i just took on a trip this last weekend, and I noticed fluid leaking out of my left fork right below the bottom triple tree. Where would fluid be coming from?

Could be from the steering head bearings. Was it lubed recently?

(The crap grease from HD tends to liquify/separate too.)

No, it use to spew out of there when the bike was new, just seems to be on the fork tube. Nowhere else.....
