Fluid leaking from the quarterpanel

[Kevin J]

I've heard of blinker fluid, but my convertible just started leaking quarter panel fluid on the passenger side.
I'm thinking its a top actuator. The brakes feel good and the fluid isn't low so I'm thinking top. Does anyone make rebuild kits?

I have seen o-ring kits for the hoses, replacement hoses and seal kits for the pump, but never anything to rebuild the rams. There are replacement rams, but they are a bit pricey. NPD carries stuff that may help you out.

Has anyone suggested that it may well be the fluid line leaking and not the motor itself? Lines are replaceable.

Isn't that area the source of muffler bearing grease/fluid?

I rebuilt my entire system, it’s not hard, cost less than $500. For that I got 2 new lift cylinders, new lines, and a rebuild kit for the pump. When I bought the car 6 months ago, it was a mess, puddles under the cylinders and yeah, puddles under the car…

Yep. What a mess that was. I had an exhaust leak and found exhaust fluid all over the garage!

Thank you guys! Luckily I live in Florida so I may have to make a trip over to N P D in Ocala.
