Best I can tell from the parts breakdown, The tilt ram seals are dual U-cups. If one of the rear cups is damaged it can cause this problem. Not sure what kind of anti cavitation valve is used on these. Could be an obstruction in the control valve.

Have you checked for tilt drift? You might have a cylinder seal leak internally.

Did you check the pressure of the tilt (should be set to about 250 bar)? Is there any visible leaks?
