    Are these new or rebuilt units? How bad was the leak? Just a teaspoon full in the bellows or was it leaking out onto the ground?

    So these units are replaced under dealer or repair shop's warranty? What are they saying about it, because they are eating the costs (I would hope after a 30 day failure).

    Very strange that this would keep happening. I would mark the "new" part with paint this time.
