What is this?! Part of my compressed air system on 1983 35FC - compmanben - 02-03-2009 03:06 Hi Folks, I have recently replaced by Bendix AR-2 air dryer. While I was working under the coach, I couldn't help but notice a part with an oil leak. I'd like to do some work on it, but I don't know what it is! It looks like it is part of my compressed air system. The lines go out of sight and I can't easily trace them. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WanderlodgeForum/photos/album/725524050/pic/list I posted the pictures to a new "What is it?" album. Thanks in advance for your help! Nate Owens 1983 35FC "It's a Wanderful Life" What is this?! Part of my compressed air system on 1983 35FC - Ralph L. Fullenwider - 02-03-2009 03:18 Hi Nate: That is the pump motor and reservoir for the HWH jacks. Most often the wet look is from filling while the jacks are extended, then of course when they retract, oil goes everywhere. You will find the fill spout under the second step in the entry way. Lift up the step, remove the cover plate and you will see the blue top screwed into the tank opening. Oh and it is not oil, it is dextron 3 or what ever the latest is. You use the same thing in your power steering reservoir under the dog house.

Part of my compressed air system on 1983 35FC - Don Bradner - 02-03-2009 03:24 That is the HWH jack motor/pump/tank (left to right across the unit).

Part of my compressed air system on 1983 35FC - timvasqz - 02-03-2009 04:12 notice the vent on the blue cap. if the vent clogs you get leaks in the return and cavitation and starving on the extending. Not easy to clog because the 3 grand worth to psi will suck the screen into the reservoir then screw the pump on extend or blow the screen out and suck dust at the next extend.

Part of my compressed air system on 1983 35FC - Alex Smith - 02-03-2009 08:48 Nate, I believe that is the hydraulic fluid tank for your leveling system. The fill cap is reached by an opening under the 2nd (middle)step inside your coach.

Part of my compressed air system on 1983 35FC - Bob Lawrence - 02-03-2009 12:56 Yep, that's what it is. It should only be filled when jacks are retracted otherwise overflows. That might be the leak you notice. Bob Lawrence 84 PT36 Workcamping at Laguna Atascosa NWR Laguna Vista,Texas > Nate, I believe that is the hydraulic fluid tank for your leveling > system.
