Leaking orange stuff

[Jon Walker]

What am I leaking and how do I fix it?

The leak is dripping from the bottom of that cylinder.

The fluid is translucent orange/red.

That looks like hydraulic fluid

Most likely hydraulic fluid from the lift system for cab. Suspension lowering rams

Yup now that I looked closer you can cap those line off if you want.
I don't think you Will be lowering your truck for a C130 ride anytime soon.

Thanks guys! Just got this truck yesterday and still working my way through the manual.

It is a high dollar hydraulic fluid. Just cap the lines off unless you plan on compressing the suspension to fit it in your C-130. Lol.

since most of ya'll remove them anyway..... if you got your suspension compressors laying around, consider sending them my way. I'll pay for its trip. Especially ones that most likely don't need a rebuild. I'd like to experiment and remount them on the front ( the Previous owner removed them) and add some to the rear as well. The plan then would be to plumb them to separate valves in the cab. That way when sidehill traversing with the camper box mounted I can experiment with improving stability by compressing suspension on the uphill side.

Besides...... I might want to rent a C130 and fly it to New Zeland for little R&R in the outback.......
