Looking at the picture from what I can see the QD fitting that is leaking is on the retract side.. If I were gonna pull that cap I would have to have the fifth wheel either hooked up to the truck or supports under the front in case the Frt LG started to retract... They should't since the Hydac valve ( located on on of the Frt LG ) is electrically closed preventing flow of fluid... The Hydac valve will only open when it receives a 12 volt DC signal to it to open.. Its a normally closed valve actuated by a solenoid around the valve itself

That did exactly what it needed to! I stopped by Napa before our last trip and picked up one and it completely eliminated the leak.
I was in a hurry trying to get a bunch of stuff wrapped up beforehand but knew I needed to get that cap on. I checked the fitting and figured if it were under any pressure it would be leaking and I wouldn't be able to swivel it so easily with my fingers. I proceeded to pop it right off with minimal dripping and got that cap in place. Pre and post trip inspection showed no fluid [emoji106]
Thank you again!
