Did you store the jack on its side or upside down rather than vertical as it would be used? Where did the oil come out from?
Just trying to work out what went wrong so I don't do it

Right way up in a heavily modified "normal" jack carrier. It came out the top, I think. As I said, don't know what I did wrong.

When you say top do you mean between the first and second cylinders or the top?

Don't know, just it wasn't raising the car, looked & saw oil everywhere, pulled it out & tried to mop up the oil. Didn't see where it was coming from, was too busy cursing.

Dont think you have done anything different from me - maybe it had a bad seal, who knows.
Thanks........
