Unless a cylinder is externally leaking thru the gland, it wont cause fork drift. You can check by raising forks and then removing the return hose that goes from control valve to the reservoir. If oil is coming out as the forks are drifting, then the spool valve, or relief valve like swoop said, has most likely failed. On old trucks i've had spool valves fail due to age and infrequency of oil changes. I've also found on several occasions an entire control valve is cheaper than the single spool. just a heads up

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
