Re: stabilizer oil leak
You probably need a new feedback assembly.

Re: stabilizer oil leak
When is the last time the seals were replaced? Water intrusion past the seals will force the packing grease up like that as I understand. I just had the plates that hold the seals taken off and resealed. Hard to tell from the pics for sure.

Re: stabilizer oil leak
If you are sure is oil, it can only come from to parts: the hydraulic ram, because of a faulty seal, or the feedback assembly, due to the o-rings. On the other hand it might be grease, in this case it can be as they have mentioned before, due to the water pushing through the seals.

Re: stabilizer oil leak
had mike from hurricane 954-966-9966 evaluate and put in feedback assemblies on both sides. he charged 520 in parts and 1360 in labor. Thought you would like the info. He is a super nice guy. Not sure about the price but it seems in the ball park. he was there about 5 hours one day and 8 the next. Will test it this weekend. Thanks for all the suggestions.
