Greetings:
By the quantity, I'd guess brake fluid. Brake line or fitting is incontinent or it's the contraption that locks up the front end if it's an MP3. |

It was leaking right where the crack is on that cable. Seemed like it was grease. Doesn't leak just sitting there, but after i rode around and parked it.

Could be grease.
That can't be a brake cable; it's on the wrong side. My guess is it's the speedometer cable. A little grease and a small crack in the rubber boot isn't anything to worry about. Put a sheet of paper on the floor and try to collect more of the stuff. Enough to tell if it has a color to it. And get a picture of the cable where it ends at the wheel hub so we can determine for sure whether it's a brake line or speedometer cable, or something else. ⚠️ Last edited by JKJ-FZ6 on UTC; edited 1 time

Yeah im 90% sure it was Grease and your right its not on the other side of the brake cable. Like you said speedometer cable possibly. Didn't know if i should worry about it. just saw a crack and grease on the ground after i took it around the block for a little bit. Was really hot out today in Florida too so maybe that has something to do with it too. thanks for the quick responses guys. Much appreciated.

But if grease has come out, water eventually will get in creating problems.. Speedo cables are not that expensive or hard to replace.. |
