Default Suspension Compression Purge

I was headed out of work today and was going about 30mph and all of a sudden i hear this sound like purging air and felt the compression on my left leg. Is this common sometimes to have your suspension compression bottlepurging...?

I really didn't notice any difference in riding after that...Took it for a hour spin after i got done working and everything felt like normal...

Could all of the nitrogen be out of the reservoir and I wouldn't notice a difference? I think I would right???

Plus, the *** doesn't sit any lower and is still stiff when i press down on theback end..
