If there is no oil visible anywhere and the hydraulic tan is not low, then thats not your problem. I agree with the stiction diagnosis, we have a 2021 and had to add fork oil as well because we had the popping sound. Been fine since then. If that is not the issue it could be an internal leak in one of your front cylinders. I would start with the fork oil easy enough to get on amazon and is a cheap fix you can try yourself. Just remember to take out as much oil as you plan to add before you add the fork oil, otherwise you may overflow the oil tank when you retract your cylinders.
