I can highly recomend Jomar seal - I love the stuff. I'm not sure where one can find it (it's a product of MI) but we get it across the street at the hydraulic shop.

Interesting enough, a cylinder we just had re-done (stripped shaft) is leaking, so much so we'll have to send it back, Luckelly the MB dealer is right next to the cylinder shop (MB of st. clare shores.) So I dont mind taking the drive (and getting caught in "traffic")
