No, this is not the title to the latest Dr Who epsiode... I have a '98 11GS and after standing in the garage a short time, there is a tiny puddle of brake fluid collected in the hand guard. Cleaned it all up, used it, tested the brakes and they're fine - no fade at all. Left it a few days - same issue, the brake fluid seems to just weep slightly from somewhere and I cant see where as it doesnt appear to be the top seal.
Anyone have any clues?

Baffled of Somerset!

In that case I would suspect the seal on the piston in the master cylinder may be to blame, repair kit here or here

No need to apologise. Just thought you'd get a better response in the right section
