Groaning sound while turning the housing under load.

I have a IHI 35N. I have been clearing some large boulders from the side of a hill. I'll grab a boulder from the downhill side of the hill and swing it to the uphill side. While I swing the boulders uphill I can hear what I can best describe as a groaning sound, and I can feel a little vibration, nothing extreme but just enough to be noticeable. I can't remember ever loading the turntable like this so I'm not sure if it's normal, or if it's a sign that something might be on it's way out. I only get this sound when swinging large boulders. It's smooth and quiet when swinging small to moderate sized boulders for this machine. Does anyone have any insight to this?

I have another hydraulic issue. My hydraulics have recently started leaking down. I cannot see any external hydraulic leaks anywhere. What would most likely cause this? An interior leak in the control valves?
