3 Point Hitch , TO-30

My 3 point hitch works fine when
the PTO is engaged but when I lift mower and
take it out of PTO the mower slowing seeps down.
any suggestions.

That's how it works. The lift only works when the pto is turning. Just like the 8N lift only works when the pto is turning. If you have to take it long distances remove the mower pto shaft from the tractor and leave it running.

Should it not stay in the position that its in when you disenage the PTO
if I am done mowing and raise the mower
shut the PTO off the mower should stay up
mine seeps down while I am going back to the barn.

Jason answered your question. This is not a Ford with nylon O-rings. You asked about a Ferguson lift, which was designed to fall with gravity after the pump is dis-engaged. It has 3 iron rings that will leak the fluid out and slowly let whatever's on the 3 point to the ground. A built in safety feature... mentioned about 3 times last week on here... first get a manual, then use the 'search archives' box on this page. you'll see what we mean...
