I will have another play with it, I will do a few full travel's with it and see what happens before entertain looking at the oil side of things, not sure where it would go in mind...

There is usually a little bung on the cylinder, remove that and oil should be to the hole with the jack at its lowest.or the piston fully retracted.
There is sometimes a little bleed screw by the pumping mechanism to clear air. Looks like a set screw with a slot normally.
