Leaking leving jack

Does anyone have any specs (brand, model #, size) of the mid & rear jacks? My mid jack is leaking & they want $500-600 for a new jack & I'm going to try & have it rebuilt or do it myself, but have no information on the jack or manuals. I am guessing it could be rebuilt for a fraction of that price & maybe get spare parts to rebuild the next one that starts leaking. Also I'm guessing if I raise that jack it will take the pressure off of those lines & not lose all my fluid, any help or suggestions will be appreciated!

Title should be "leveling jacks", damn auto correct!

Danny,
I had a mid jack leaking on my other RW. Had it rebuilt for $100. The guy told me it comes apart easy and all have to do is replace o rings. That was a lot better than buying a new one. Hope this helps. Good luck and Merry Christmas to you and Linda.

Leaking jack

I repaired one of mine myself.There is a oring seal on one of the top bolts of the Jack.Its called a banjo bolt.The fluid in the line runs threw the bolt.I bought the seal at a auto parts store for 69 cents.

Thanks guys! I figured it would be simple & cheap.
Merry Christmas to you & Cindy also! Are you heading to Florida after the holidays? If so have a safe trip & enjoy your winter! We went to Arizona this year.
