We had that problem with  NEW  ETI  TrolleyCoaches here in SF.     
Driver Seat is raised by Air Pressure and is actually an Air Shock if 
not completely raised or lowered, but I don't like driving with a 
bouncing seat~!~!~!     Oil would be dripping out of the air lines 
connected to the seat and be all over the floor.     There are multiple 
air connections to the seat  (kidney bladder, etc.)  so it was possible 
to get it all over our hands as well.     Who knows where else it was 
leaking~!~!~!~!
