I don't have any hydraulic jack oil and my cheapo jack leaks like a
sieve.
What do you suggest is best replacement for the oil?

auto transmission fluid?
brake fluid?
power steering fluid?
motor oil?

Anyone notice the large increase of trolling going on in here lately?

10W30

Rule 1: Try 10W30, If 10W30 does not work apply rule 2
Rule 2: Try WD40.
Rule 3: Give rule 1 another try

Power steering fluid, although light hydraulic fluid is cheaper. I used
light hydraulic fluid in my power steering that leaked like a sieve for
a while to get me thru the winter until I could replace the leaky
discharge hose.

If you have PS fluid already, if should work just fine (but it's gonna
leak out too)

He could use the fix-a-flat...

Honestly, a leaking jack wouldn't hold anything up

Power steering fluid it is.

Thanks,

"Best" would be to go buy some (it's inexpensive) and you could have
gone and been back several times over by the time you asked...

As someone else noted, don't trust a jack that's leaking w/ anything
even close to a pinkie-smash...
