Roof-Rack Precautions

We are traveling 400 miles tomorrow with my Gary Fisher Kaitai on the roof rack. It's got a Marzocchi suspension fork, and I was wondering if anything need to be done to protect it from losing fluid or any other damage. Do you guys know if I need to do anything before sailing it at 65mph for 7 hours?

Is the bike sitting upright in a fork mount bike tray? If so, you don't need to do anything.

Just make sure your bike rack is secured well!
