This started after I had it serviced. The place that did the work said it happened because after I had the valve body seal replaced the piston seal is the weak link. It still splits fine but it get messy with the end of the piston leaking. If I'm not mistaken its not a very expensive fix. Reach out if you need pictures.
Area Hydraulics in Uxbridge can do the seals. Used them years ago on a front loader piston.

No boat, back in the suds.
