Green fluid on handlebars

    I have discovered green fluid on my left handlebar.
    Could it be clutch fluid? Level in sight glass seems OK but I haven't removed lid of the reservoir yet.

    Bike is an fjr1300

    Hose, coupling or reservoir vent or seal. It's not coming from nowhere! ;)

    Opened up the reservoir and it is quite full - going by the amount and colour of the leaked fluid, I don't think it's the clutch.

    Could fork oil be coming out the top near the preload adjuster?

    Green is usually coolant...

    Yea i think it's the fork that is leaking.

    Thanks for the insightful feedback tho ;)

    Is it common practice for a bike repair shop to lend the customer a bike so they can travel home and come back later to collect their own bike? I see car garages provide this sometimes but never heard of a bike garage offering?
