TRAC Valve Leak & Brake Fluid Mystery
OK, I found the "leak" that made the speedometer sender unit (Aspencade with digital instruments) look all wet like it had brake fluid or fork oil on it.

It was not brake fluid or fork oil.

The speedometer sender unit has an o-ring seal where it attaches to the speedometer gear unit on the front wheel axle. That o-ring was not completely sealing. So, the wet look on the speedometer sender unit body was nothing more than the axle grease that lubes the speedometer gear bleeding past the o-ring a bit and coating the outside of the speedometer sender.

Great outcome for me. No fork dis-assembly or rebuild required.
