Leveling cylinder leaking

I have a 2008 Safari Simba 30 SFS with Power Gear hydraulic leveling system. I noticed a oil puddle under the right rear hydraulic leveling jack. I checked and all the oil was coming out of the seal around the ram. I removed it and took it to the local hydraulic repair shop to see if they can rebuild it. They do not think it will be repairable. Is there a good location to get parts for these systems?

WOW! Many thanks, guys.

One of my cylinders has developed some rust/corrosion, and I know it's only a matter of time until it starts rubbing thru the seals and starts a leak. Now I'll know how to fix it (unless maybe it'll heal itself? ...yeah right).

Again thanks!
