Lucky for me, www.rocketseals.com is only about 5 miles from my house. Took the jack over there and they supplied me with all the seals to rebuild the gland nut on all 4 jacks for $28. There are six separate sealing rings in each nut. One was a fat felt one. They didn't have one so they gave me a similar sized rubber one. It was very hard trying to get the rubber one in place of the felt one so I re-used the felt one since I couldn't imagine how felt could play a crucial role compared to the rubber o-rings. So far it's holding up.
