No.. You are Not alone, I answer on average 2-3 of these pm's a week. What you opened was the Working Valve, This is NOT where you add OIL. Oil Needs to be added via the Resevoir on that Jack...

Correct Order.. From in the Hole First to Last.

Little Ball
Little Weight (smaller of the 2 square/round stock)
Big Ball
Bigger Weight

Spring? I cant say ive ever seen a Spring and Weight combination on 1 seat but it would go in Last if its OEM.

It would be Easier to do if you Elevated the Rear of the Jack, This way the oil runs away from the Valve and you can see what your doing.

alright thanks im going to have to try that! oil came out also. so i should fill it in the ''resevoir''

put them back in that order an it works again!!! thanks! only other fill looking spot is on the side of the hydro unit it a flat head screw but when you take it out the holes only like 1/8. seems odd for a fill hole? an does it just take hydro fluid right?
