Default XK8 Covertible Top Problem

My top is going up "very slowly", and actually didn't make it up at one point and it fell back down. Subsequesntly it did go up, but I am wondering if this is due to the posibble old fluid (it's a '97) or the hydraulic motor is going?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Make sure its got the correct fluid level in pump reservoir, and make sure the t handle on the side is very tight
