Leaking floor jack

[stateofidleness]

A leaky floor jack would scare the stuff out of me. Even a minor leak. Even any fluid around it lol.

There's some pretty good jacks nowadays that are pretty affordable, even in the sub-hundred dollar range for occasional use. Probably better to just replace unless your jack is a high dollar one.

Thanks everyone.

I changed the oil last night but the jack is leaking oil still. Not as much as before, but a few drops still.

I just found out that the Duralast 3000 lb jack is made by Torin.
I will contact them to see what inexpensive options I might have.

Well, IMO there's a ton of low quality made-in-china jacks out there. The GOOD ones tend to be over $400. The quality of the Torin jacks and others seems to be very spotty. I bought one from Pep Boys, and it wasn't long before the seal blew out. Now it won't lift anything, and I haven't gotten around to doing anything with it.
