Leaking Jack body, not seal, nor fitting.
I thought I would post this as it seems likely others may have a similar issue.
One of the jacks on my new Dynamax was leaking and the top side of the pad was wet with hydraulic oil. Long story short, the supplier to equalizer makes machine welded hydraulic rams (model #SL16) and the weld on mine has a pin hole leak.
Since they are machine made, the problem may have been replicated a few times, though I only had one bad in 4.
The good news is, Equalizer has them in stock and will ship you a new one within a week and pay 1 hour labor for swapping the jack out. All it takes is unscrewing and rescrewing 2 hose fittings and 6-8 bolts.
I tried to tell them that my rate is $1k an hour but they wouldn't go for it.
