Cold weather causing hydraulic leaks in neighborhood elevators

I keep getting calls for hydraulic fluid leaks in older elevators around my block. The low temperatures are cracking the seals on the lines. Anyone have a reliable method to patch these before a full repair?

The troubleshooting phase can be frustrating. What specific issue are you running into? Knowing the details helps me give better advice.

Honestly the worst part is the humidity messing with the sensors. Ours kept thinking the doors were open when they weren't, just from the damp air. Had to get a dehumidifier for the machine room, which is a whole other cost.

Yikes, guess we're all taking the stairs until spring thaw fixes our elevators.
