The leak will be coming from inside the bore and a large amount will be inside the bellows that the actuating rod passes through.
I just rebuilt and kitted the very same system this week. A small visable difference is that the piping comes out of the cylinders vertically instead of the ends as on yours. The bleeders are located on the ends of my cylinders and the piping goes out the top of the cylinders. The kits are about $17.50 each. Disassemble the cylinders individually and swab out the bores, then shine a flashlight in the bore it inspect for corrosion. if there is any it would be better to replace the cylinder than attempting to hone out the existing cylinder.

good luck
Rick.......
