I was hoping for some insight on basic troubleshooting before taking it to the shop down the road...title says it all.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

First impression is hydraulic pump starved for oil. Check for suction side vacuum leak, clogged filter, and/or obstruction.

You probably have a crack in the suction hose on the hydraulic pump.

Thank you Dan...
Interestingly enough...I had my son pick up one of those filters when this started happening so I had one on hand...5 minutes and problem solved. I Appreciate the support...there was only 200 hrs on that filter and oil.
