I strap my bike down in the back of the truck with ratchet tie downs and it compresses my fork quite a bit.  I've done this several times before.  Anyway, take the bike off the truck and it feels like I've got a flat tire.  I look more closely, and the fork (front shock) looks like it leaked a lot of fluid out of the right side (all over my brake).  Anyway, the front shock is really loose.  It's really noticable at low speeds.  What do I do?  Thanks.
Two birds, one stone.

Sounds like new fork seals are in order. Cheap parts but it'll require removal and disassembly of forks. Quite a full days job.
