Well...you need to sort out the leak in your forks as soon as you can....Check your brake pads, do you know the last time the the fluid was changed? Check your rotos for warping or other damage?
These are a must to sort out before you can try to sort out any riding problems, good luck and keep us posted

1 st I would check the steering head/bearing, if ok, then I would look at getting new tires.(Haynes service & repair manual comes in handy too)

Yeah, check your tires. Worn out tire will make your steering shake and makes the bike hard to lean.
