You may have blown the seals in one of the cylinders.  Does the tilt work?

I would think the first thing to do would be to change out the hydraulic oil filters.  Once this is accomplished a person could better tell if there is problems further down the line if the filters do not do the trick.

If changing the filters doesnt work lift the seat up and under there there is a plug that will take a half inch drive ratchet, remove it and you'll find a screen.Might be plugged. If not check pump drive. They are known to shear but usaully in colder climates where the oil would be thick.
