??? You say you installed a tube shock conversion. I assume you are not 
talking about the tube shock leaking, right? Well, you are supposed to 
remove the valve bodies out of the front lever shocks and drain the shock 
oil -- or at least those were the instructions when I installed my tube 
shocks almost ten years ago. So, if you followed this instruction, there 
would be no fluid to leak. Sounds like this step was overlooked.
