Default 2000 fountain steering cylinder leaking

I just bought a 2000 35 fountain. It wasn't leaking over the last few days while in the process of buying it. It may have developed the leak while towing it home 700 miles. Any way. Has anyone rebuilt them and where did you get the parts? There is nothing stamped any where on the steering system other than the fountain sticker.

Yes pretty easy. Dont know the particulars on the Fountain set-up, but it is more than likely the rod seal. Seal number is most likely stamped on it, so if you can get that out, it is easy enough to get a matching seal

Were those units relabeled Lathems, or Fountain originals?
