I've had pintle shaft leaks on Sundstrands (bad lip seal), leaking "freewheel" bypass valves, and leaking hydrolift tubing joints.

And an old piece of rug or cardboard is also used.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
