Fixed it,found driver side front latch not locking completely due to soft top front trim panel ,underneath side,had come loose,that made the seal bunch up so lock wouldn't close all the way,after inspecting whole system ,found one leaking main cylinder DS,now leak detected front of rear wheel on under chassis. will be looking into rebuilding seals,will start a new thread.

I understand your money situation but I think sometimes you have to bite the bullet and pay more than you would like. Seems no one has found the correct style seals only o-rings which end up failing. You lived with an inoperable top till now so just keep it inoperable till you have some funds to do it right and do it once instead of wasting time and money on seals that will most likely fail and possibly cause further damage.
