    Reflection leaking Leveler Jack

    Started a month long journey with our Reflection, and on the first day I noticed oil on the leveler jack. Fortunately it's in the middle (I have 6), so I think it's not too critical.

    For now, I put another jack under it so that it doesn't have too much weight on it.

    Any tips? Should I keep putting oil in it? What type does it take? Anything obvious I should check?

    I believe it’s a totally electric jack like my Reflection, not hydraulic like in Solitudes.

    Right - that's my understanding as well. I'm going to see if I can take the cover off and see what the deal is. It must just be greased. I'm not sure how it leaked down.

    You say it is a middle jack. Could it be some oil/grease thrown off the wheel? Just a thought if you do not find anything leaking down from the jack itself.

    I'm confident it's the jack. I can see where it's coming out the bottom hole in the cover. I removed the cover (see photos below), and I can see where it's running down. I'm not really comfortable disassembling it further.

    Easily replaced. If your still within 1 year warranty call Grand Design and see if they will ship you a replacement.

    Hers the manual https://www.lci1.com/assets/content/...CD_0001307.pdf

    Worst case you could buy one for about $400

    It looks like rear and center jacks are the same.

    Thanks - it's under warranty. I was worried about damaging it, but if they're going to replace it, I think I won't worry about it.
