Ron,
Sounds like the flexible hydraulic line is swelled internally. As they age,
they swell and restrict the ability of the hose to pass fluid, causing it to
act as a "check valve". They are available from most LBC suppliers or you
can take the old one off and have your local hydraulic hose shop make you
one.
