Yes its the cylinders leaking internally. There is no loss of hydraulic fluid. I assume it is leaking past the piston within the cylinder. On the tractor the leak down could be caused by either the valve or the cylinders. When disconnected it has to be the cylinders or the check valves in the hydraulic hoses. If it was the check valves, I would expect to see puddles of hydraulic fluid. With no puddles I am left with the cylinders.
The leak down occurs in both my bucket curl cylinders and my bucket lift cylinders.
The loader has hinged flat bars and feet which drop down from the crossbar in the rear. An attached photo shows the support foot in the stowed position.
It does not have the bars which connect close to the bucket to support the loader.
