HWH jacks

[g_man1146]

This may be a good place to mention this although I don't believe it is the
cause of the problem in this case. A year or so after purchasing our '99LXi in
2001, the right rear HWH jack started leaking. Connections were tight and it was
not leaking from the seal. Upon closer inspection it was determined that the
leak was through a minute pinhole in the jack body itself. I confirmed this by
applying air pressure into the removed jack and soapy water over the pinhole.
The fix was easy; simply grinding a "V" groove over the pinhold and welding the
groove. It has been fine now for 9 years.
