I have owned a 732 bobcat for several years, over the course of time it has develloped a bucket settling problem. tilt works fine, but the hydraulics for the bucket up/down settles rather quickly, sometimes worse than others. I have discovered that it is actually under down pressure when it comes down. If I tilt the bucket down with it up in the air and just let it go it will pick the front end of the machine off the ground whether it is running or not. I have noticed that on occasion when the problem seemed especially bad, if I hit the pedal hard both directions with my foot, it seems to get a little better. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could help me figure out where to start on this.
 
A friend had a 853 that did that, overnight it would lift the front end of the loader while it was shut down. We found temporary solution by putting a loop hose on the aux couplers. I know your aux system is different with no solenoids but sounds like the same problem. His had debris in one of the solenoids. Try a loop, at least it will help narrow the problem down.
