I've got a 9500 Sidehill. The right leveling cylinder leaks down slowey. The left is okay. Both cylindars are the updated style with out the valve block on top. I replace the right cylindar 2 years ago, so it isn't that old. Just wondering if anyone has had similar problem or know of any fixes or tests to do. The only thing i have done so far, is remove the small hose where oil leaks out when cylindars are let down, i didn't get any oil out of it so I think it can be eliminated. I have a repair book, but it talks about the older type of cylindars with a valve block on top. Any help would be great. Thanks

Have you tried replacing the bleed down valve? You might even try cracking the valve open and then tightening it back up. The part number for a replacement one is AH96088.

i tried cracking it and then rephasing it again. I took off the hose for the bleed down valve and watched it for a while and no oil dripped from it. I haven't found any external leaks anywhere. I can't hardley beleive a 2 year old cylinder is leaking internally. But I've seen wierder things happen.
