Small hydraulics leak -- front leveling jacks

[TxCowboy]

Noticed a small puddle of hydraulic fluid under the motor for the forward leveling jacks. I know these systems are not supposed to leak.

The motor cover has two small bolts that I am planning to tighten to, hopefully, stop this leak.

1. Short of being stupid and overtightening these bolts, am I going to change anything ("adjust" something) with these two bolts?

2. How do I check the hydraulic fluid level in this motor? I don't see an inspection/fill port.

Thanks!

I am not real familiar with the Grestone, but I am guessing that you have electric front landing gear.
As far as tightening those two bolts I don't think checking them with a wrench would be a problem. But remember, tight is tight, too tight is broke. Use caution.
When everything is retracted, slides and landing gear if it applies. the fluid should be about 1/2 inch from the top of the reservoir.

OK, Dave. Thanks.

Guess I need to go buy an inch-pounds torque wrench.

Before wrenching those bolts I suggest a call to Lippert and find out what they recommend for a torque.
