I have been busy with other things and my 1971 BMW R75/5 has been on the center stand in the garage for more than six months without being moved. It gets very hot in there during the summer, perhaps 110F plus.
I recently noticed a big puddle of fork oil under the left fork, on the bottom of the front tire, tire rim as well as on the ground. A lot. Perhaps all of it leaked out, but only from the left fork.
I rebuilt the forks around three years ago, new seals then.
I never had a fork leak while I was riding the bike last summer, after the bike sat.
So what could now be happening here?
