Question EMB 135 aileron sag

I'm starting to wonder if I'm imagining things. The EMB 135 we fly shows an interesting characteristic I can't explain.
Down
After shutdown, the right aileron sags by two inches within minutes while the left is still neutral. There is no evidence of leak and engineering has found nothing. If the hydraulics are energized, it is neutral and rock solid.
It just seems that the hydraulic dampening is very weak on the right side.

Any insight?
