Lippert 6 point leverlers leaking

I have a '13 Montana with the Lippert levelers. The front one is leaking but can't find out where. Anyone ever fixed one of these?
  • This is why I bought the Reico Titan (now Lippert) Ground Control electric system If my system "leaks" it is much easier to clean up the spilled electric on the ground. ;-) Yes it is a bit slower and no it isn't one button automatic but it works and it doesn't leak and the legs don't move from pressure changes in the hoses.

    Sorry for being a smart a$$.

  • I had the same problem with my 2013 Wildcat Sterling. It seems that many Lippert kits may have been shipped with defective or wrong hoses. After I had the defective hoses replaced under warranty all is good.
  • I had a leak in mine that was located at the big hydraulic junction box inside the front compartment. A leak can be a bit deceiving because the actual leak can be at a high point and then run down a line and drip onto one of the individual levelers in front. Get a flashlight and look all around; also put your hands all over the junction box and lines to see if you there's any leakage. I had a connection leaking, so all I had to do was put a wrench on it.

    * Also, if you are getting random creaks, usually at night when things cool down, Lippert recommends adding a quart of a particular Cat hydraulic fluid additive ($$$). Call Lippert for the details.

  • Yep , one of my leveler jacks leaking from the bottom seal ,it's scheduled to be fixed under warranty ,
    Thank You Cedar Creek.
  • Had a similar problem in our Cedar Creek and had it replaced under warranty. We were told it was a weld at the top of the piston that was leaking.
