Help. Need to know what hydrologic fluid to use on my 2016 Heartland 3160el.

It arrears I have a leak on my front right side hydraulic lift. I could be saying that completely wrong but there is fluid build up on that entire side of the level bar. I do have the electric auto stabilizer leveling system. When my neighbor checked, he did say the fluid was pretty low and there was a leak that looks to be coming from one of the valves/hoses that connects from the hydraulic fluid tank to the part that lifts and lowers the level stand. He is saying we need to get more fluid but for the life of me, I can't find what brand I need to buy or how much i need? We tried looking in my owner manual but it didn't have anything in there either. Any help will be truly appreciated!!!

Dextron 2 is the proper fluid.
DO NOT CHECK THE LEVEL WITH THE JACKS AND SLIDES EXTENDED!!!!
You must have the jacks and the slides all retracted to check the level, you will find the level isn't that low.
Some seepage from the valves and fittings can be expected with the age of your unit and the infrequent use of the hydraulic system.
