It
didn't come from the MC but I saw that above it, the steering  damper seemed
to be leaking.  It wasn't a substantial amount of  fluid....but it wasn't 
dry
either.

Is this a sign that it's time to  replace the damper?




Yes, is on it's way out. I've found they start leaking first, then just go  
completely flat (like a dead shock absorber). Is it OE (Boge, or Bilstein), 
or a  COFAP replacement? Cofap is a Brazilian replacement, just so you 
know, and  commonly found.
