Update. After much investigation and taking photos with a selfie, we have concluded the following: the generator slide retract hose is leaking badly where if is connected to the cylinder under the generator and when any slide switch in the coach is actuated, it drains all hydraulic fluid for all slides; with the tank refilled with Dextron the room slides work normally when the defective hose in the HWH compartment is removed from the manifold and both the hose and manifold fitting are plugged; the generator slide will extend and lock pin disengage when in this configuration without any leakage; the generator slide will retract with a hand push when the extend hose is located and removed from the manifold and the retract hose is unplugged with both hoses emptying into a container; due to the location of the generator slide cylinder anchor bolt in a sealed steel box, the generator and perhaps the slide frame will have to me removed to replace this defective hose. I have photos of all of this if anyone is interested.

Finally, all slides work normally and the generator slide can be extended. However, it is a simple matter to retract the generator slide by unplugging the retract hose and removing the extend hose from the manifold. Bottom line = no hurry to spend the time and money remove the generator to replace the retract hose since it is easy to have access to the generator and 120v compressor located in the box. Many thanks to Richard and Tom for their knowledge and holding my hand during this event.
