About 3 months ago, had my rig in storage for 30 days. Went to pick it up and found the rt front jack had oil on the foot pad. It looked like oil had run across the asphalt from the jack. Oil level did not look low.

Raised jack, loaded for trip, have used the jacks probably 6-10 times since then, not a drop of oil anywhere. So do not know if it really did leak or if someone was messing with me.

I did add the CAT Anti-stiction fluid after the leak? maybe that helped if there was a leak. I do know that the popping at night has stopped and everything "seems" smoother.
