Yeah, i have a cheap-o one also that has started to leak.

I could jack up autos for hours and no concern. Now I get a few
minutes. I guess it's a reminder that a jack is not a jack-stand, but
many times it's not easy to find a place to "lift" and the "hold" at
the same time.

Easy or not, using only a jack while working w/o a stand or blocking
is a statistic waiting to happen...

Guess I live dangerous. With no stand or blocking, once used a jack, pipe
and chain to pull a stuck cap off a septic tank :-)
