Check your engine oil level. If it is increasing then you have bad seals on the hydraulic pump.
I suggest that you get the seal, O rings for pump and inlet outlet lines, and all new rubber hoses on the intake side and rebuild the hydraulic pump.
You may have to get into the lift piston on the 3 point hitch and replace the o ring there.
Or do you have some other hydraulic circuits on the tractor that could have some diversion valve that is turned toward the other circuit.
