This is a hairball grade better than nothing band-aid for a leaking hydraulic cylinder seal. Directions must be followed exactly to the letter or total cylinder seal failure will occur.
Brake fluid. Any.
Cloths (2) both clean.
Wipe extended protruding cylinder shaft to clean off hydraulic oil.
Wipe on a THIN coat of brake fluid to the exposed cylinder shaft. Careful! No drops, no slops.
Now retract the cylinder shaft.
Wait 3 hours.
Extend the shaft.
Did this reduce the amount of leakage?
Brake fluid swells neoprene. But I warn you, this is a tourniquet not a health spa treatment.
