Rear leveling jack leaking

I have a leaking leveling jack on my 1987 grand ville 3600 Ored. I noticed a hole were the oil is seeping from. Is there a repair kit available or could this hole be welded shut. Getting ready to sell and I want everything to work.  Is there a parts or service contact at foretravel that could shed light on this?

1. Most likely HWH has one. If you have a hyd. shop near you they should be able to reseal it as those are just standard seals.
2. No
3.  Most likely not as all those folks have retired.

I had the same issue with my '81 FTX and exchanged one from HWH. If you seal the hole the internal leaking seal will fill the chamber and the jack will not release. Consider it like a weep hole in a fuel or water pump don't block them.
