I have a C&C TNT on my 7800 that has given be excellent service for 17 years. The boot finally disintegrated and it appears to be seeping below the boot. Does anyone recognize this valve manufacturer?
Not sure, but couldn't just order a boot on my LS xg3025. I used several coats of liquid tape and it has held up for a year. I have also used black permatex rtv in the past.
If seeping oil I would suspect the seals on the end of the spools are weeping. Usually a pretty easy repair but you would have to remove the joystick assembly.
