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.
 
Taking the advice of many did some leg work. After many unanswered calls finally spoke to a parts person explained I had an Extended warranty After many pictures and measurements they ordered a replacement. Showed up today no cost to me . well worth the wait would have cost 710.95 part Lippert 8005353 Thanks To All
