I've confirmed a leak in the system. I have a seep at the hose that controls extension of the curb side main jack. It is seeping at the fitting where it attaches to the main aluminum valve block (red) in the battery compartment. It is not the threaded portion it is where the threaded fitting is connected to the rubber hose. That means I have to locate a hydraulic company that manufactures hoses. A simple thing if you have the tools like I did when working on aircraft. If I had the tools and parts I could make a new hose here on site in less than an hour.

There are a few hydraulic service locations here in town so I'll likely be able to get one made up. I'll have to put the truck under the trailer as there will be no pressure to hold the rig up when I pull the hose.
