    Hydraulic System 97 Detecting Cylinder Internal Leaks An internal leak is caused by a damaged seal inside the hydraulic cylinder (see 1 in Figure 5-25). Because the cylinder is leaking oil inside (bypassing), a certain amount of pressure is lost, reducing the efficiency of the cylinder and its capacity to push and/or pull.
