Big Foot Leveler Issue
We have 9-year-old factory-installed Bigfoot levelers. The fluid level in them has never been checked nor have the housings ever been removed.
Today I thought I would perform this long overdue task.
As I removed the screw on the shroud of the housing of the very first leveler I checked, fluid started dripping out of the screw hole. Hmmmm...that was strange but I thought maybe there was a little fluid sitting on the bottom of the housing and it would stop right away. Nope, all the fluid from the reservoir, or I assume all, drained through that screw hole.
Now I am no mechanic but I assume that screw hole is not a drain hole for the reservoir.
Is it likely or possible that when the levelers were installed they put the shroud screw through the side-wall of the reservoir when they installed the shroud?.....and that little screw has held the fluid in the reservoir all these years?
Is the reservoir made of plastic?
I didn't do any further looking around. It's tight under there and I was a greasy mess.
