Is the fluid for the slides just recirculating then? Why isn't the level in the reservoir affected when I run the slides in and out like it is with the jacks?

Slides are double-acting cylinders - (oil s pumped into one end to deploy, while the oil is pushed from the other end of that cylinder; opposit for retract. Thus the oil level does not change for the slides.
Slide Cylinders are like this
