Brake fluid leak.
Hey guys, quick question. I have an L A Choppers brake fluid distribution block. about a month ago or longer I saw brake fluid leaking out of that very left fitting.(which faces the front of my bike) so I tightened it down. All good, no fluid at any of the three fittings. is it possible that while I was riding fluid transferred up above the distribution block and back through that center hole where the locating pin is. Because I have more fluid coming out of there after a month+.

Those fittings rusting is not a sign of quality parts. And as already pointed out but were not allowed to discuss is what kind of fluid is leaking. Can we assume that this is the front of a dual disk motorcycle?

FWIW ... Those fittings don't look like the kind that would be compatible with the "double flare" that should be used in / on brake lines ... Just an observation, could be wrong !

Perhaps made clear above, perhaps not, the red color suggests: This isn't brake fluid, but something else collected on the disc from another source (what color is the steering head grease?) OR it is brake fluid contaminated with rust or some other contaminant. In that case, the leak is only PART of your problem and a different distribution disc should be part of the fix.
