    Leveling Piston Leaking

    2020 Solitude Front Piston leaking. Lippert does not sell a kit to replace the seals.

    Are you sure it's the cylinder and not the hose? I had to replace one of my hoses, as it had started to craze, and was actually leaking fluid out through the cracks. I think those orange hoses are pretty low rung.

    Try tightening all the nuts on the connections. That fixed mine.

    There was a thread here a couple years ago someone gathered parts from different suppliers to rebuild a cylinder. Do a search & you may find it. There are no all inclusive kits for a rebuild that I know of.

    I had one replaced just a couple of months back under warranty, took about an hour.

    You should be able to remove the piston and take it to a Hydraulic repair shop. They can rebuild the cylinder with better seals that should last much longer then the original seals.

    If I needed to rebuild one cylinder, I would probably get both rebuilt at the same time.

    Good luck, and let us know how you fix this.
