Most of the problems i have experienced in the past were the result of not being used a lot, sitting around. seals drying out belts crack etc or can be age and abuse like you mentioned.
I wish i was closer to your location, I would come check it over for you aua. Just like 18operator said i would soap down all the fittings and check for leaks to start out with.
