Floor jack rebuild kits

I have a Craftsman 3 ton floor jack, looks to be of 70's/80's vintage. It won't jack up fully since its leaked out some fluid. I can't find a specific leak, just leaks around the seals in general. Are there any seal/rebuild kits for these?

When I loosned what appears to be the refill screw,fluid just pours out like its full. How do I refill it? I'm a floor jack noob

never had to work on one.

Yeh, I have one Sears lift that did not work well from the box.

Since they are cheap, I just bought a replacement... make sure you use stands before you get under any pile of iron...
