Does this sound like a joy stick problem or do I look farther down the line and where do I look next thanks

Good day
I suggest there is not so much wrong with your joy stick, more probable the valve where it is connecting or the cylinder is leaking.
Kind regards

Feel your cylinder(s) after operating, if they're significantly hotter than the rest of the machine's hydraulics, you probably need to get repacked. You said the stick drops but said both cylinders, so I assume you mean the boom cylinders. If you have a temp gun, you can see which is the warmest, that's gonna be the one to go after. Also check your hydraulic oil return filter, see if you have bits of vinyl and plastic in there. Good luck.
