In previous postings, I have noted that I have a landing leg dropping a little over a period of a few hours--like 2 inches. The leg will hold up the load without any settling--it drops only when retracted.

I have been advised as to what is likely the problem, but have not had the repair made. Consensus was that it is probably the cylinder. OK.

But further on this matter, I have noticed ( and I do not think that this used to happen) a few drops of fluid on some of the hydyaulic lines. I see the fluid in the vacinity of the fittings and I see fluid on five lines--but only a drop or two. The fittings are tight--I have taken care of that.

I cleaned the outside of the lines and fittings and the drops reappeared in a few days--but in terms of fluid it is really a miniscule amount. Is this perhaps normal? It would take a long time at the current rate for as much as an ounce to accumulate, summing the contribution from all the lines.
