If the cylinder has top return lines, then it is simply a matter of lifting to full height removing the return lines, lowering and then lfting again and see how much oil you get out from the return pipe on the cylinder. Bearing in mind there should normally be only a small amount of oil and a large amount indicates a leak and will tell you if the cylinder(s) are leaking internally.

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.
