"Creaking and noisy' Levelers

Our new Winnebago with Lippert hydraulic levelers will make noises all night from all 4 corners. I'm assuming this is a tiny leak somewhere in the system. Is this a normal thing? Once, after sitting for a couple weeks, I also encountered a 'jacks down' error that required me to reset the control panel (holding down enter and retract) although the jacks did not look 'down'. After reset, the pump ran for a few seconds and things were back to normal. Looking around under the coach, I do not see any obvious oil leaks. Any thoughts?

    Call Lippert , they are aware of the issues . I have drained and changed my fluid to synthetic which did help the noise issue . The biggest improvement was to make blocks of wood 12in by 12in and stack under all the legs so they do not extend more than 3 or 4 inches .For extended stays I still have to relevel the coach every two weeks to stop the ticking sound at night .I have returned to the Winnebago factory twice there are no leaks . I have learned to live with it .
