front forks leaking oil
I just chromed out the front end & now both forks leak a small amount of fork oil around the back screw that holds the upper can. The top seal is dry,I took to repair shop & they replaced the seals & the said they look good. they replaced anyway & now it still leaks a small amount.(a day of ridin will show it) If the forks had a nick i could understand but both forks? Inspection showed everything was fine,not a problem with the forks,sure has me & my mechanic stumped,any help would be appreciated

I thought mine were leaking to. Everything checked out okay so I started looking around. It turned out the neck bearing grease was leaking on to the lower tree and when I rode it would drip a little. I just wiped up the excess grease and all was well. The heat will do it.
