Hyster S4.00 2005 build

Just wondering if anyone has come across intermittent steering problems on this type of Hyster. The steering works normally 90% of the time but randomly goes vague and has no resistance on the steering wheel it seems to happen more so when the truck is first started. The orbitol valve has been replaced, the pressure valve on the hydraulic control valve block which supplies the orbitol has been substitued and the steer cylinder appears to be ok. Is there any other valves? The hydraulic pump does not appear to have anything on it from what I could see.
