Silage

Puttering around town last week on the GB400 and thought the front felt a bit funny. On inspection, there is no dampening in the front shocks at all. There MAY be a few shortcomings in my thesis that "maintenance" means changing the engine oil every 4,000km and nothing else, but it would seem that there is no oil in either front shocks. Where has it all gone? There is no sign of any leak and the chrome is nice and spotless and boots in place (one has a split).
When I bought the GB back in '88, I thought the shocks would carry on until they spat oil everywhere so have not looked at them. How likely is it that they will leak when they are refilled (after flushing)?
