Hydraulic cylinders on L4400 are dripping

[tallyho8]

A couple of my cylinders are dripping just enough to mess up the concrete pad it's parked on. It's not a major leak, just bothersome, and not bad enough for me to buy new cylinders. Is there any "stop leak" for these cylinders that is safe to use in my Kubota? I know I have used brake fluid in power steering cylinders to swell up the seals and stop leaks but never used anything in a tractor before.

Might I suggest getting the cylinders resealed rather than replacing the whole cylinder? There are shops that do this sort of thing.

Depending on cost in your area, you can do it yourself. for me they wanted about $225 so I ordered the kits and did it for I think $60 for the B7800 I have.
