Another question. Just this weekend I had some hydraulic fluid come out of the fill/overflow cap of the pump when I let my jacks down. One jack had the rear tires off the ground by about 1" by the time I got the coach level. When leaving I couldn't fill the air bags before retracting the jacks as this one wheel was off the ground so I just retracted them all. Could the extra pressure/weight on the jack have cause the fluid to overflow some. It was a small amount but I'm just curious as to why this happened

Thx John
John,
Journey does NOT have air bags on his front engine diesel. It has spring suspension.

The hydraulic fluid coming out of your tank vent could have been caused by by the amount of fluid rushing back into the tank when you raised the jacks. Possibly a bit of foam/air bubbles will cause this. Had it happen to our coach one time when I had the front jacks fully extented to level the coach. When I retracted them I noticed a little fluid leaked from the tank vent. It has never happened again.
