Releasing air pressure bad?

So…if trackhoe has a couple of hydraulic seal leaks here and there (fixing them is not really an option), and if the equipment is going to sit for long periods unused is it bad to release the air pressure from the system to prevent flow to the leaks? I’ve never heard anyone doing this and it seems like a logical idea. Thoughts?

    Wish someone word reply that knows, as i do the same thing and was wondering also.Probably know the answer that it doesnt hurt anything, start it up and it gets under pressure again.
