Take a good look for the source of the leak. We had a major gush on our street side a few months ago, and was sure it was from the cyl, there was no fluid coming from fittings etc, as was the dealer when I dropped it off, after the cyl was replaced, it turned out being a line that led to the rear stabs, located just inside the side wall beside the front leg, no access to this area, had to cut an opening from inside the comp and underside. There was a hose that had been Drilled on build that finally let go!

Use caution drilling the legs if they don't stay up, I had the rams fail a year ago and had to do this, but we have the pin type legs, and it works great. On the newer pinless type, I don't think that can be done.
