Leaking hoist hydraulics

[RacerX10]

My engine lift is leaking hydraulic fluid in the area I marked. Is this fixable ? I'm guessing it's got a seal out, but is it replaceable and if so, where in the world would I get one ? Not even sure how to get to it.

Thanks for any comments !

check out hiball's jack thread, or send him a mesaage, he'd probably be glad to help.

For future "googlers" ...

So it turns out that when you pull the cotter pin and remove that socket for the "pumping bar" , the center shaft that goes in the area I marked just lifts straight out. Nothing holding it in there but gravity.

When you pull that shaft out (it's maybe 2.5 to 3.0 inches long) there is an o-ring at the end of it. That seems to be what's supposed to seal that shaft. Went to a local hydraulics / machine shop, and the guy found an o-ring that he was pretty sure will fit. Haven't tried it out yet, but fit or not, I'm guessing that's where you fix the leaking problem I have.

Thanks !
