2020 RT Front center shock leak

ramble

ohbeemer
Noticed clear odorless fluid drip down the front of the engine case. Looks like a shock failure. Anyone done this repair? Unsure about access to the top bolt.
 
@ramble You got pictures of this leak? On my 2010 R1200RT, when both front and rear were leaking I sent them off to Ted Porter and had them rebuilt...
 
EPM replaced a leaking shaft seal on my 1200gs front ESA shock with around 16,000 miles on it.


The repair (with shipping) wasn’t exactly cheap, but I was very happy not to have to buy a new shock.
 
I got no dash indication of a suspension problem just a fluid leak. Anyone know if the ESI shocks send a warning signal on failure?
