Danny, I'm not the expert like some out there, but I will say to you that since I overhauled every hyd actuator with Lancair supplied "kits" all leaks and weeps have stopped. Additionally, the origional hoses were all deteriorating and one actually weeped right out of the middle of one hose in the nose wheel well (it looked like it came out of a joint, but no.). Replaced all 14 with teflon/ss outer hosed from Flowline (custom made and very economical). For good measure added up and down gages as I posted recently.
As Chris Z said, gages in the cockpit explain a lot in real time. They take a lot of wondering out of the equation.
