    As both of the above,,,,,,,,,,also,,,,,,,, Re check the fork seal,, prise out the dust seal and have a look underneath, if it`s wet then thats where the oil is comming from. PS,,,,,,are you sure the guy you got the bike from actually renewed the seal ???? or did he just wipe the oil off and stuff a bit of rag between the oil seal and the dust seal ??

    Take it off and turn it upside down.........
  3. If all else fails you could try forcing fluid up the system from the caliper bleed nipple with a syringe, again put plenty of rags roung the master cyl and on the tank first !!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Get one of the brake bleeding kits, the ones with the one way valve in the pipe, they are only a couple of pounds. Start the bleeding from the master cyclinder banjo bolt, make sure you cover the tank and put plenty of rags under the banjo bolt, undo the banjo bolt half a turn then pull in the brake lever slowly,hold it in while you nip up the banjo bolt,release the lever and repeat until brake fluid starts to run out of the banjo bolt, next do the same with the banjo bolt on top of the caliper, then bleed the brakes as normal. When you rebuilt the master cyl and caliper you did make sure the seals where lubed with a little rubber grease ? Think I would have bought a new master cyl and caliper seal kit. Do not try sucking brake fluid thru the system with your mouth !!!!!!!! this stuff can strip paint just think what it could do to your mouth !!!!!
