Having placed my title at the top, does anyone have any info on how easy or difficult it would be to either replace or repair the jacks. It appears to me that they are leaking from the seals.

My understanding is that it's not too difficult. Most hydraulic shops can replace the seals, but usually require that you remove the cylinders and bring them in for service, rather than them working on your coach.
I had all 4 of mine refurbished, but I only live about 60 miles from the HWH factory in Iowa, so I had them do the work. If I recall, it was around $200-250 per jack.

When I had mine done, I took it out to HWH one day and they removed all four cylinders in less than an hour. Then I took the coach home and went back a couple weeks later when they reinstalled the rebuilt jacks and bled the hydraulics. My issue was sticking jacks, not leaking, but the fix was the same. You'll want to make sure that the fluid is coming from the seals in the cylinder and not a line or a fitting.
