Bigfoot leveling pump leak

i have a 2013 Jayco Greyhawk motorhome and i have a small leak coming from one of my pumps. Just a drop or two on the ground i think its coming from pump seal. Anyone have any exprience with this issue ?
Thanks
  • Hyd cyclinder seal might need repacking if it's the leg that lifts/ lowers. You have checked to make sure all hose connections are tight?
  • It’s definitely coming from the pump reservoir area. I was wondering if there is a seal between the pump and reservoir that might need repair. The hyd cylinder is fine and dry. Hose connections seem good.it’s such a slow leak it’s hard to detect. I dried everything as well as I could and will keep watcth
  • It's probably coming from the rubber or plastic plug that is press fit into the very top of the reservoir. Either it's leaking around the threads or it's coming out the vent hole in the plug. Mine has always done it and creates an oily mess. People at Bigfoot says that's normal and don't worry about it. If the leak doesn't occur when the vehicle is not moving that should be a clue.
  • Cautiously snug up every fitting you can find. Spray with a bit of brake clean and check later to see if there is any more leaking.
