Most hydraulic ram cylinders should have a refill plug about half way up the barrel.
1) Position the cylinder vertically, and collapse the ram all the way down.
2) With the plug pulled out, fill the cylinder with hydraulic jack oil until it drips out the plug hole.
3) All done. Place the plug back in and test the functionality.
The internal seals are shot. If it's a quality built jack, made in USA, repair kits are available. If it's made in China, throw it away and buy another POS made in China. Sorry, that's how I feel about that.
hoist was invented in 1954
Lance Hill invented the Hills Hoist in 1945.
The Hills Hoist was invented in 1945 by Lance Hill. But Lance Hill wasn't the first to invent the Hills Hoist, in about 1912 Gilbert Toyne, design a rotary Clothes line.
Hoist
Hoist Cylinders are used by tractors, lifters, and cranes. They need special tools and skills to be repaired. You can not repair them at home. Take your hoist cylinder to a local mechanic.

Yes. You need to unbolt the exhaust pipe from rear manifold and support engine and transaxle from above with engine hoist. Unbolt engine mounts and raise engine/transaxle to make clearance to remove oil pan. This is for V6 3.0 L engine. Yes.

no
Practically it won't, be the air will get compressed, and then the hoist will not work. Read Pascal's principle to check if my answer if correct.
Either a hoist or a jack under the sump.
This is a very big job, and if you choose to do this by yourself you should invest in a repair manual, second if you are an impaitent person, you should not do this!! and it would also be helpful if you had a hydraulic vehicle lift to raise the vehicle off the ground, if not then you will need a engine hoist, or at least two hydraulic floor jacks. and of coarse, tools.
raise the car, drain the transmission fluid, remove any exhaust components that will get in the way of the transmission, remove the starter, remove the drive shaft, remove transmission crossmember, use an engine hoist or a jack to support the engine, remove slave cylinder from bellhousing, remove transmission and bellhousing, unbolt pressure plate, inspect all components replace bad parts, reassemble. DON'T FORGET TO REFILL TRANSMISSION
A car hoist can be rented in Detroit from Lift King, Tower Crane, Babco, and Engine Hoist Rentals. There are also rental places just outside on Detroit.
Get a Russian guy to help you lift it out. Just kidding, but you should use an engine hoist. Maybe a forklift, tractor, or bobcat but its best to use a hoist because its important to go very slow and you have to pull the engine forward first, then up.
If you use a tripod.
