Ok, here's the deal.. My 2011 runs great, love it, couldn't be happier. However there is a small leak in the front left fork. The mechanic said it wasn't a big deal and not to worry about it. Having said that, when I hit a bump the front end makes a pop noise and the bars shake a little. Under semi heavy breaking the front end shakes a little. I'm wondering what may be the issue here? There are no problems when riding, only the loud pop and wobble with bump and wobble with breaking.

Any Ideas?

Side note: the wobble/shake isn't from left to right, it's front to back.

If that makes a difference.
