That's because you live down South. Come up here and let the winter salt work on them and they won't look so good. Same thing happened to my nerf bar - rotted from the inside out. Outside didn't look too bad, but the damn thing broke and fell off. Inside was rotted all to hell. :sad:
If you want a good read on oil, go here: http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html
While the cite may be motorcycle based, the information is on motor oil - not just for cycles.
Depending on how old they are and where they are coming from, you might not want to mess with them. I had a set of Westins on my work truck that rotted out and broke after 6 years. They rusted from the inside out - so Herculiner wouldn't have helped. That's why my newer truck has stainless ones.
Any well equiped hardware or automotive parts place will have o-rings. As for the manual/diagram, sorry, I can't help you there.
If it's only seeping, try filling it back up with oil. Again, hardware/automotive store should have hydraulic oil. If the jack works, at least you'll know what...

The stock fuel filter is good for 10K to 15K, depending on how clean the fuel is in you local. If you put a prefilter on like the Cat 2 micron, the stock filter will last a lot longer. I took mine off and opened it after 10K and it was less than 1/4 used.
As for lift pumps, unless you are...
What you describe is indicative of the batteries either getting ready to crap out, or loose/corroded battery terminals. Low voltage will cause the cluster to stop working. Clean the terminals and make sure they are tight. If it does it again, check the batteries.
Yes, the clusters do go...
The frame goo, which in fact is a type of hot dip wax coating, is much more durable than paint, which is why they use it. Even if the steel has rust on it when the frame is made (and it most likely does), the wax will seal it and keep it from further rust.
I just wish I could find...
