Sorry supposed to be leak in JACK. 4K screen with old eyes and small text... Considering the age of this crowd the Forum Owners should change the format and enlarge the page and not use a double window.
Anyway
I noticed the other day the front passenger jack had oil on the foot, it had obviously collected for a while, it was not pooling just coated with dirt, being the foot is black I had not noticed it until now. The jack had been down for about 6 days. I wiped it off ran the jacks up and down a few times and nothing clean and dry, so I figured I would watch it for a week. And today I say two drips this was after 5 days.
The drips were not coming from the shaft that seal is solid and dry, it is coming from the gasket at the top plate of the jack and running down then drip onto the foot. You can see in the picture the drips are not on the ankle of the jack it is dry, it is only on the foot.
I called Camping World (I know) they are the only Montana Dealer in the region. I asked if the jacks were rebuildable or can be regasketed they suggested that if jacks leak they need to be replaced. I call BS on that it makes no sense especially if it is not shaft seal related on only the upper plate gasket.
Any suggestions?
I was able to wrench the the top plate 3 bolts a 1/4-1/2 turn without too much force hoping i might get lucky and re seal, that is probably a long shot though, however it is a very slow leak at this point. My guess it has been this way since I purchased it.
Today after tightening thos bolts I ran the jacks up and down 10 times and was dry as a bone.
My rig is a 2019 3791RD
You can see there the oil was coming down the outside of the jack
