Ugh. After reading your other post about looking at purchasing this truck, I have to I would be a little nervous. Slips when its hot? Can't tell for sure w/o actually seeing the truck, but it sure sounds like an internal seal leak; Fluid gets hot it gets thin and can blow past a hardened or torn seal and drop pressure. Could be a lot of things, but that's the first one that comes to mind.
