My low profile jack looks pretty much identical to the blue "Costco" one above. When I pump it up to max height, oil leaks out from somewhere & leaves a puddle on the ground. There's no leak when there's no load on the jack & I do this. I'm not sure if there's a seal leaking or if there's just too much oil in the jack and it's venting excess oil. I fear the former. Any ideas?
I've got one of the jack-pad adaptors as above too, though I also use small blocks of wood that fit into the jack-pads when I lift at more than one point &/or drop the car onto chassis stands. Jack-pads still look mint. |

I still don't understand the point of the plastic jack points. What's wrong with conventional welded/reinforced metal jack points on the chassis as per every other car?

Beneath the plastic it would be the reinforced metal points on the chassis.
