Purple power press

I bought this thing at the end of 2018 and it’s seen some use but nothing crazy. Anyway the jack is leaking oil. It still has some pressure and I’m getting good yields still(same as I was getting) but I want to know what to do when it finally stops being able to jack up and apply pressure to the plates. I’m seeing videos of people replacing the oil through the oil fill plugs on the side of these types of jacks. I’m just wondering if there’s a way I can fix the leak, or if I will just either have to remove this jack and replace it with a new one or periodically replace oil and keep a paper tower folded up under the thing to soak the leaking oil up. It’s not a problem yet , I just want to know what to do. If anyone has experience please let me know.

Replace the seal

Could you or anyone else on here advise what to look for and where I should look for these online? Could I maybe just regularly refill it with oil and just soak up the leakage? I’d like to replace the seals but I worry they might not fit the jack I have right. It’s a 6 ton Torin bottle jack.

Also the things themselves don’t cost a lot and I know maybe I could just replace it completely if I can’t do the seal.

Just replace the bottle jack. You can buy those bottle jacks for $20-$25.

Does anyone have experience drilling holes through the base of those bottle jacks? Just saw where they don’t come with them like the one I’m replacing in my press I bought. The maker probably added them but I don’t have too much drilling experience maybe someone I know does. What do I need for that, seems like some pretty thick heavy metal
