Lifted bike for tire swap, and front fork oil leaked out...

I lifted the front of my Hyper, and very clean and shiny fork oil leaked out of the left bottle, I wonder if thats a bad sign. I have never dumped this bike hard from a wheelie, but once while ago I hit a pothole and it was hard.
Any ideas ?

both of my forks leaked at the seals. With about 1000miles on bike. But they replaced them under the 2 yr warranty.
