If you never serviced it, I would start with that. If it doesn't help, it could be a problem with pressure, dry or hardened o-rings in the valve body... Try servicing it with a new filter. Also, get a good additive for seals when you change the fluid.

Let me know if it helps. I have a feeling it may not, but it is the cheapest 1st try.
