Default Green Fluid
I have noticed some green fluid seeping from the front left fork and also it is splashing on the tank, mirror and running down the fork. Anyone know what this is? And before someone tries it no its not radiator fluid.

where on the fork do you see it?
Under the tins or from up high?
You only have two choices fork fluid or brake fluid.

Steering head bearing grease, if you look under the lower bearing, you'll see where it's running out from.
