Bedroom slide closure problem...

Wondering if anyone has run into this situation ?
We have parked our 3400 at a seasonal site in CT during the winter for the last two years while we head to Ft Myers Beach in Florida. When returning to open up the rig for the summer last year I noticed that the bedroom slide was out about 6 inches. I hadn't noticed it when closing up, and should have, as I cover the rig with a large tarp. This year on returning to CT the same situation had occurred and I'm positive the slide was closed when we left.
There is no shore power hooked up, and the battery is disconnected.

Any thoughts on what might be occuring with the hydraulics ???

Jerry,
My first reaction is the bedroom hydraulic cylinder is leaking pressure causing it to go out. Second would be a weak seal in the pump area.
One thought would be to reduce the in pressure by momentarily pushing the out button to neutralize the pressure to equal on both sides.
Good luck and I am sure someone with more knowledge will be along.
Semper Fi,
