Hydraulic press

I finally transported the workshop press home. It turned out to exactly fit in the back of my car (With me crushed against the steering wheel for 108 km!). This weekend I decided to take it appart. The reason it got trown in the trash was obvious: it didn't seem to hold pressure. I now plan to replace all the gaskets and seals. The current parts are very worn. But what do you expect of a 33 year old press. Now I just need to find the parts.
