I've got a quick brake question for you all...

I've noticed a bit of a brake fluid leak at the Valve assemble delay, located right above the front right caliper.

We've taken it off, cleaned it up, and other than the plug end, or a leak at the brake lines, I'm just not sure where it could possible leak.

And I'm trying to decide if I should just put it back together with new washers and such, or order a new part for the $108 it'll cost.

Has anyone ever seen this part fail? What are your thoughts?

Are you sure it's brake fluid, and not fork oil?

The plugged end is just a dust seal that is pressed in place, the hydraulic seal is an O-ring on a machined plug, that is below the dust seal.

Currently there are two delay valves for sale on eBay, at less than $20 a piece, I'd buy one just to have on hand.
