Leaking Fork

Q: I just completed a 5-year restoration of my 1971 Triumph Trophy 500. My problem is a leak on the left front fork. It appears to be leaking from the small bolt that holds the bracket for the wheel. I’ve tried some black RTV on the threads and also teflon tape with no success. What can I do? — Al Rieske/Reno, Nevada
