2017 Tiffin Phaeton - Slide creeps in

Tiffen Phaeton (2017) - Front slide on PS creeps in when parked with slide extended.
Which is it most likely to be as there is no sign of hyralic oil leak.
Bypass in Solenoid or poor seal inside hydralic cylinder.

Normally that indicates the extend solenoid on the HWH system is leaking oil back into the system. They rely on pressure to keep the slide in or out and if the solenoid leaks it allows pressure to drop and the slide to move. It could be the solenoid valve needs to be cleaned or may have to be replaced.
