Leaking fluid

[jburgessx2]

It seems I've developed a leak. It appears the piston that pushes the generator
our is leaking. I haven't made an attempt to pull it yet and I thought I would
ask here first so I don't mess something up. Is this something easy to fix,
i.e. replacing an O-ring? Or, is it something that I have to replace
completely?

Thanks for the help.

Easy fix. Two seals as I recall. Pull the piston, unscrew the cap on the piston
body, go to hydraulic shop to match the seals and replace. Do not even unhook
the lines.

Jerry,

Do a search on "gen slide" on this site and the WOG site. You should get several hits.

John Finn, member of the 'Bird forums, will be camped at Pt.. Mugu in the near future. If you don't mind, I'll forward your contact information to John. Maybe you folks can meet up. Let me know if it's okay to send John your contact information. Thanks.
