2003 U320 bedroom slide hydraulic leak

Does anyone know of a picture or what is actually above the bedroom slide in relation to the slide hydraulics?  My buddy's U320 is dripping oil from overhead onto the bed..  I know the main slide cylinder is under the bed but what is overhead?  I am assuming another cylinder but it must run sideways with the slide, not "in and out"?

Have not torn it apart yet to look..  Also have not called HWH yet - we are hoping they will service the entire slide system in lieu of going all the way to Texas...

This all started when his slides would not retract last weekend.  We finally got the slides to retract  but the entire system is acting weird..  Bladders will not reinflate, have to use the override switch to get the coach in gear (which we had to jump as the switch is bad)..

On a 2003, if the slide surround is wood with fabric inserts, it's fairly easy to gain access to see what's up there.  Ours had a desk in the slide so it had that configuration.  I'm not sure about the ones with a closet in the slide.

In my 03 with a bed slide, all of the stuff is under the bed as far as I'm aware.  I've not taken the overhead cabinets apart, but I don't think any lines go up the side of the slide.

The ram is under the center C channel, one end bolted to the slide for movement, the other to a fixed point.  This whole aluminum structure slides out.

His is identical to your pictures..  There is something hydraulic overhead for sure..  MOT fixed the same leak before he bought the coach and now its leaking again albeit not as bad as before he bought the coach..
