It's probably your fork seals. They are a pain in the *** to replace yourself, but you can do it if you have time and tools. I did them on my old gix with no prior experience with fork seals. It is a big problem too so get them done asap. On my old bike the fluid was getting on the brake rotor making it impossible to stop quickly.
