Default Front left Shock leak/burning coolant

Hey guys. I just bought my bike recently and I have noticed that the front left shock is leaking pretty bad. I was wondering what I need to get to fix this and if I could do it myself. Also, I noticed a smell from my bike every time I was done riding and thought I was burning oil but at night when i was backing my bike up in to my driveway I noticed that after I revved it and backed it up a white smoke cloud hung around, I am burning coolant and do not know where it would be coming from.

Any help is appreciated.

well, the front left "shocK" is going to require a fork seal replacement. not tough... as far as the coolant, well that could be a leak, or if the smoke is related to the coolant loss, then you are looking at a head gasket failure.
