As wenterkin said, there was a recall on 09 EGs regarding possible seal failures near the brake switch....check with your dealership if your ride is covered.
Anywho, from you describe, sounds like a seal has popped and needs replaced.
I did find a thread about a recall on the switch on 09-11 touring models.

Harley recall brake light switch

I'm leaking brake fluid where the switch for the brake light plugs in. Any help appreciated!
so replace it- call the dealer with the VIN, maybe they'll cover it.
if the exhaust is aftermarket you may have a fight on your hands. ( the switch may give up under exposure to high heat- the stock switch could fail when subjected to the heat of a stock exhaust- especially with a catalytic converter)
if ABS the Digital Technician should be plugged in when bleeding. Some guys bleed their ABS bikes at home, but this takes some knowledge.
don't count on having a rear brake when the system is leaking like this
