There's been a slow, subtle drop in boom position over time and it throws off precision when doing repair lifts or holding a load in a fixed spot, checked with the hydraulics nd they don't seem to be leaking
Is this usually a seal issue, or could it be something electronic like the control valve not holding pressure properly or what?, because its really starting to cost me time and sweat
 
It could be worn seals, but if there's no leak, it might be a control valve issue not holding pressure, electronics or internal bypass could also be causing that drift
