Oil leak 2016 Tiger 800 XRX Low

[Bubblehead]

I noticed a small amount of oil on the floor under my 2016 Tiger 800 XRX Low. The oil was clear, very slick, and located forward of the engine. The bike was on the side stand leaning about 15 degrees left; opposite side of the front brake master cylinder and caliper. I'm guessing the leak is from the front brake line, but I can't feel any fluid on the line and the brake is not spongy and holds pressure okay. I have noticed a drop or two of oil since the first appearance. I'm going to have the brake line replaced out of extreme caution, but I'm not sure that is the culprit.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look or ... ?
Thanks

Does it smell like brake fluid or like oil?

It has no smell.

Brake fluid has a different feel than does oil. It is hard to explain. Oil feels slick and sticky; brake fluid does not feel sticky does not feel sticky like oil.

I soaked the residue up with kitty litter and placed newspaper under the area. Not enough drip to feel if oil or brake fluid.

Wonder if it could be antifreeze? I see what looks like corrosion in the area of the radiator and front frame area.

That is certainly a possibility.

Could be a fork seal

Looks like you guys are right about it being a fork seal. I'll clean the area under the seal with a feeler gauge and see if the leaks goes away. Thanks to all for the replies.
