The oil leak is the first thing you need to address this can be leaking from the lines, control valve or the ram. There is an adjustment procedure in the maintenance manual for adjusting the control valve (centering). Not uncommon after rebuilding of the system.
My first guess on the leak is the control valve.

The little tab to adjust is at the end of the ram valve.
