Check oil level, or better still fresh hydrolic oil. Or you may need new seals.

ok so leave it down , unscrew the hole with screwdriver top and fill with oil . to what level ? and what oil ? cheap options !!!

to the top or just under, and use jack oil, other oils may damage the seals and don't tip what's left into your tank, it will blow the pump to pieces.
