Question Jacks leaking fluid

[Busboy]

I have a 2007 Newmar RV my right front jack is leaking fluid as I was lowering jack. Where is the reservoir to replenish hydraulic fluid ?

In my coach it's near the generator

What model is your coach? In my Bay Star, it is in the engine compartment on the right.

It is a 2007 Newmar Dutchstar 4037.

Here is a picture of my RV.

should be up front, near the genny as stated above, probably on the passenger side. Looks more like a box than a hydraulic tank, probably has some oil and dirt on top.

Ok thanks I will check it out !

Hi RV friends what type of fluid do I add for the jacks of my Motorhome ?

 

[Neal]

Is there a label on the reservoir? I'd hate for someone to tell you what's in theirs and it's not what's in yours. You typically shouldn't mix but use whatever was in there. If you can't find the info I suggest contacting Newmar and they may be able to answer it.

Ok thanks

its either regular hydraulic oil or ATF, but as Neal says, you shouldnt mix them. Pull a sample and it should be obvious. Also you could dig up a HWH manual for it on line (just saw one here a couple days ago), and it will tell you.

Not all jacks are HWH. Mine are not.

I am looking for the reservoir for the level legs jacks on a 2009 newmar ventana 3933 model, I have looked by the generator and do not see anything except the windshield wiper reservoir. Would anyone have the answer?

If my jack which are level legs now lippert is making a clicking noise when putting the jacks down or bringing them up would that be low fluid or has anyone had this issue? It is only on one side on a front jack.
