All well and said, Brett. The fact that one jack seems to want to raise itself whilst sitting a couple of months has me bothered. We're moving south this week, so I'll stick a block under the offending when we land. Thanks much, the check, as usual, is in the mail.  ^.^d

Sorry, I though the problem you were addressing was the jack retracting enough before the spring kicks it up so that it doesn't hang up on the sway bar.

If the problem is that one jack slowly retracts over time, yes, THAT would indicate a leak.  The leak could be at the jack (you would see it) or in the solenoid (not visible). If the solenoid, best answer is to buy a reman solenoid from HWH.  Then send yours back for a rebuild and you will have a spare.
