Limp wrist Pt II, Kobelco MD200BLC

.............................well it aint so much limp anymore. l had packing issues in my wrist cylinder and have had it repacked. However, i noticed when i had the hoses uncoupled and fired up the engine it was running oil out of both hoses to the wrist cylinder, which i dont think is supposed to happen. Now (hoses reconnected) when i curl the bucket up to the stick with the stick in a vertical postion it stays there (before it would creep down). When i push the bucket out it will not stay there it will creep down to a neutral postion (in a postion the bucket would hang with no cylinder) in about 20-25 secs. Has some crud, stuck something open? lve got no clue where to start the hunt! Cheers All.
