    You probably need a new feedback assembly.

    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.

    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.

    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.
