Sounds like worn piston seals at one of the tilt cylinders,causing internal leakage

Would go for the ram seals first that's the likely culprit

It's most likely one of the seals in the hydraulic tilt valve have gone bad. follow the tilt lever assembly below the dash and remove the front floor section and you will see all the valves grouped together. A new replacement is quite expensive ($3,000), however they are rebuild-able and the seal kit costs less that $100.
