Default Hydraulic fluid "Dump" from jacks

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!

Happy trails!

Bill

Default Re: Hydraulic fluid "Dump" from jacks

Well what you need to do is get somebody to operate the controls in the coach while you watch under the coach to see where the fluid is coming from. It might be just a lose hose coupling or maybe a bad hydraulic hose.

There are many different types of jacks that Gulf Stream uses. Mine has Quattro by Big Foot. Some use HWH jacks.
