Default Leaking Front Leg

&nbsp\\;I have an 07&nbsp\\;RC that I took apart last winter and had a lowering kit and a set of chrome lowers put on. The right one is perfect but the left one keeps leaking, I have had the front end apart 3 times this spring and the indy I'm using can't seem to get the damned thing sealed up.
&nbsp\\;I have had the seal replaced 3 times and the last time we also replaced the shaft.
&nbsp\\;I curious if any of you have a set of instructions for a set of chrome lowers that might have a service part # for&nbsp\\;a Left chrome lower, there must be some thing wrong with it after I had it chromed.
&nbsp\\;Any help would be appriciated.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

are you sure that it is not grease from the bike frame neck?
when the bike is on kickstand(left side) the melted / softened grease builds on the triple tree tray and sometimes&nbsp\\; drips on fork or fender.
