My old faithful 8 ton bottle jack is bleeding fluid from the packing
gasket around the release valve.

Can I fix this thing, or should I just junk it? Seems a shame to trash
it for what must be less than a penny's worth of rubber gasket
material.

TIA
Mike


I would say it depends on how good of a jack it is. What did it cost you.
Does a repair cost less than buying a new one.
