Adam,
Of the four slide locks the seal was blown out on three of them to the point I could not see a failure point.  The last one had not started to leak so being very careful taking it apart I found this seal inside the lock in this condition. 


Finding this condition makes a solid case to use the Double X profile o-ring as stated in my post.  As a side note; they have preformed flawless on our slide locks.

I ordered everything from o ring store and should have today. Biggest issue I have currently is I cannot get the slide back in due to the leak is so bad it cant build pressure. So off to the hydralic store today to get some caps. I am going to cap the lock and unlock hydralic lines off at the pump and hopefully i can get the slide in a bit to tackle this repair. Yesterday we dumped about a quart of fluid out of that slide lock area in a matter of seconds. Luckily it didnt get on the carpet or furniture. I was able to get a small mirror up above that valance piece. it looks like it possibly is held on by 5 or 6 thru bolts. Hoping I can just back those nuts off and pull that large valance off. guess glad this has happened at home and not somewhere in the middle of nowhere
