[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1451681, member: 19880"] Keep an eye on it. If it is brake fluid (or coolant), it will be water soluble. If shock fluid, motor oil or rear drive, it isn't. (Of course, the shock oil will be less viscous than the other two.) Wipe everything clean and you might try wrapping something absorbent like toilet paper around any suspect fittings to check the next day. I had my Penske drip from the shaft seal at one point when it was long overdue for service. How long since you had the shock refurbished? That sounds like a pretty big wet patch. Remember that the fuel tank overflow hose comes down right in front of the swingarm - not likely but another possible fluid source. Especially if you parked with a really full tank of gas and the temperature got warmer after parking... Any gas smell? [/QUOTE]
