front shock seals leaking

We did the Canola run and got enough mud in every crevice of the GS but did a pretty good job cleaning it a few hours later. Bike stood for 2 days and i rode it again 30km later i saw my boots have a nice shine and i thought its its  all the protective spray that put on - noticed a few hours later front  forks dripping oil- shafts were wet on both sides. Can that be- mud dried on inner shaft and caused the seal to fail - just guessing. No pressure cleaner used- just normal hose pressure and some normal soaps

Bikes only got  32000km on 2013 model- ok dont shoot me for that :thumleft: - fleet owner
