I have a 1999 T5C that works great, but recently when moving dirt and rocks I noticed the bucket would roll forward and empty out without me moving the lever. I checked this with nothing in the bucket and it still rolls forward. Any ideas.

Oil bypassing the seals internally. Need to get them repacked with new seals...

There is a chance it could be your valve, switch the lines from curl to raising the bucket and see if the curl continues to flop down or if the whole bucket starts to drop.

+1 Sounds like cylinder seals.

Steps to test seals in the cylinder.
