HWH leveling jacks

[iwander_85pt40]

Scott,

Thanks for the info. The leak is where the piston extends out of
the tube. According to the product diagram, there is an 'o' ring at
the bottom of the tube. I figure old age set in.

I'll check with Frank @ HWH and decide what to to. Maybe he'll know
of a source for an exchange rebuilt unit here in California. It will
cost a few bucks to ship this hunk of metal to and from the factory.
