Seems to be a big difference between manufacturers on what is considered normal for Loader leak down time. First - all loaders leak down because as Mark said "all seals are not perfect in the cylinders or hydraulic control valves." That being said, most of the leak down seems to be more a function of the hydraulic control valves, but that may differ on other tractor models.
If you have ever seen this, please list the loader model (and tractor) and how you perceive the leak down that is normal or abnormal.
Massey Ferguson 245 with Great Bend Loader would leak down while mowing and had to tough the loader control about every hour or so to keep the bucket from getting too low. I considered this normal but wished it was better.
Kubota M6800 with LA1002 loader. Never notice any leak down when using the tractor for several hours. If I leave the bucket up and come back in a day or two, it will be noticably lower and may be on the ground. This seems normal to me and causes no operational problems.
How does your loader do in this respect?
