If these drops are found on the lines in the pump cabinet it could mean that your fittings are still loose. If they are found on the lines at the cylinders then it could be that the fittings are: loose in the solenoid valve blocks or they were overtightend during installation and have cracked the aluminum solenoid body. While you might have tightened the hose end to fitting connection, the leaks may be from the fitting to solenoid connections.

The leaking-out of fluid on these systems also means that air infiltration is likely and the verticle landing gear cylinders with the weight of their foot and piston rod hanging straight down will use this air to sag.

Billr also had a situation with bad piston seals allow bleed-by to occur that allowed piston/legs to drop.
