Losing hydraulic pressure with no leak

I have a Clark c500 30 type g forklift
235 36 3855. It is losing hydraulic pressure after lifting the the boom whether it's lifted a foot or all the way up. The oil lever is correct and I have no hydraulic leaks anywhere. Is there a back flow preventer somewhere that might be allowing the oil to leak back into the reservoir?

Fact of the week
In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called 'Futility', which described an "unsinkable" ship named the Titan that sank after hitting an iceberg. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in a strikingly similar fashion.
