I replaced cylinder seals due to a small leak. After wards the bucket will slowly drift down. I assumed it was the piston seal because it was so hard to get on. I figured I stretched it too much. I replaced the piston seal a second time and still same problem. Any thoughts?

You probably damaged the seal, use Hose clamps in that size to bind it on the piston after you installed it carefully. With carefully I mean that you don't stretch it that much and work it carefully with a pick on the piston.
