Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll just ask in the lounge. We have a terrible time keeping floor jacks from spilling their fluid all over the shop floor. No matter if it is a Harbor Freight or a better quality one, after a while they all start leaking.
Most recent one is a Craftsman aluminum racing jack Dan got me last Xmas. Nice jack and it goes low so it fits under my dropped axle, but the other day it too started leaking fluid out the bottom. Same thing with a nice racing jack Don bought me the year before. Is it the heat in our shop? Even our cars start leaking stuff like tranny fluid if the car sits for a while. I know the shop gets up to the mid 90's all the time, but that seems pretty normal for most places in the summer.
I'm taking the Sears jack back for a new one, but just wondering if anyone else has this problem.
