opened the hatch a few times to replace the air filters and so forth, noticed a tiny drop of fluid on the bumper and looked up to see it dripped from the drivers side wing piston.. no error lights on dash, and wing raises evenly....


popped the cap off the piston bottom and noticed a tiny bit of fluid in the cap.. and fluid on the bolt..

first check was to see if the bolt was tight, and yes it is (holding the one nut, tried to tighten the bolt)... the whole hydraulic line does "turn" in the piston bottom, but so does the other side that is not leaking...

curious besides replacing the fluid with something thicker if their is a fix?

my best guess is that a gasket has worn on the drivers side where the hydraulic line enters the piston bottom, but obviously if i were to remove the clamp that it would be under pressure and blow off..


any quick way to drain, (replace gasket) fill and bleed the system or it's just gonna be labor intensive.?
