Case 445CT bucket not holding lift

Hello,

Case 445Ct loader bucket tilt will not hold position. Settling is visible by eye without a load on it. I can tilt the bucket down, lifting the front of the machine off the ground, and it holds the machine solid. That rules out the cylinders which were rebuilt a couple years ago any way. It does have a self leveling valve. Should I be looking there or the bucket valve? Pressure valves in either one? I do have a hydraulic pressure tester but I don't know where I should be looking.
Any help is appreciated.
