Case 580B weak hydrualics

Hello, I have had to rebuilt the ext. hoe cylinder and replace some hoses. After doing this, the hydrualics seem weak and I can't do two operations at once on the backhoe. Also, the main lift cylinder wants to bleed off when operating the boom, bucket, or swing. Does anyone know where I can look. I did notice a slight leak right above and to the left of the swing cylinders. Thanks Kevin

    that sounds to me like there is a valve sticking open and letting the fluid just bypass and not work what your trying to do. Possibly, it could be air in the system too
