Power Gear Levellers

I have purchased a 99 Landyacht 33 ft. It is eguiped with the power gear levelling system. When I used the unit in warm weather everything seemed fine. but now that temps are down to freezing I noticed the jacks down light comes on during hard acceleration and goes out again at normaloperation while driving. My question is should I top off the fluid while it remains this cold or should it be left for warmer temps as the fluid wil expand when it is warmer? Hate to fill it for cold and have it overfull when warmer. Thanks for any help.

I would go ahead and fill it. Don't think there would be enough expansion to worry about.

Check the pads and see if you can determine which one is leaking, mine was from the rear drivers side, fixed by adding transmission seal, when leak stopped changed oil, resevoir held about a gallon.

Thanks for the posts. I will top it up and keep an eye on it to see if I can find a leak.
