slide out cylinder

[Robby]

Can anybody help me? I have a 2012 Road warrior 30c on the living room slideout there is a pinhole in the weld on the cylinder so it is leaking hydraulic fluid I sent pictures to Heartland and of course it is out of warranty so no help from them great customer service (NOT) I also sent pics to Lippert hopefully they will back there product but if not does anyone know of a easy fix every time I wipe it off fluid appears so I don't know if a weld or something like JB weld will stick. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just replace the hydraulic cylinder. Not a difficult project and not real expensive.

I have had a pin hole fixed by welding a small dot over the hole with a wire welder

Let it sit for several days until it quits dripping, clean the area with carburetor cleaner, wire brush/sand/grind or what ever to remove the paint, hit it with a MIG/wire welder and keep on trucking. Have done it on higher pressure cylinders many times with out fail.
