Just took our 2000 GS Palm Breeze out for our families "maiden" voyage - All went great till the very end. :(
Raised the jacks in a parking lot to leave beach for last time and front jack (I think) dumped a lot of fluid on the asphalt - My wife was outside and said "A lot of pink fluid just came out (a quart or so I'd say)" - I inspected under the hood and didn't see any reason/evidence of an issue - All jacks were up and secure.
I drove it home (7 hours) and called my storage/service shop and told them of the circumstances and they siad it might be a seal - They said without looking they were unsure because on some jack models a seal can be replaced and on others the whole jack must be replaced.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Does my hydraulic jack system have seals that can be exchanged or must I order a new whole jack?
Where to shop for these parts?
What is a fair quote to replace seal/jack?
Shops (good shops) in the Atlanta GA area to recommend?
Thanks, in advance for the replies! :D
Happy trails!
