Today I found a hydraulic problem, fortunately after returning home from a 4K mile trip.

On the driver's side rear landing gear jack, the hydraulic gear manifold was slightly leaking. I thought about checking for tightness, and after putting a small wrench on the nut, the manifold separated from ram housing.

Needless to say, I'm grounded till I can call DRV for either warranty work or for the parts. It doesn't look like much to install, but if it's covered under warranty, they may insist on a dealer doing the work. I'm concerned that it can be finished before too long, as more summer trips are planned out. Also, bleeding the system of air will be more trouble than installing the manifold itself I want to think.

Anyone else ever crossed this road before?
