Hydraulic joint

An assembly comprising:

• a first section defining a first passageway therein to receive and pass a fluid;
• a second section defining a second passageway that communicates with the first passageway, the second section and the first section together forming a first ball joint having an internal portion and an external portion, the first ball joint comprising a moveable coupling between second section and the first section;
• a third section defining a third passageway that communicates with the second passageway, the third section telescopically receiving the second section therein and configured to form a linearly moveable joint between the third section and the second section;
• a fourth section defining a fourth passageway that communicates with the third passageway, the fourth section and the third section together forming a t-joint having an internal portion and an external portion, the t-joint comprising a moveable coupling between the fourth section and the third section;
• a series of seals at the first ball joint, the series of seals between the internal portion and the external portion of the first ball joint, wherein the series of seals includes a first seal is configured to allow for the passage of a portion of the fluid as a weep into a first volume defined between at least the first seal, the first section, the second section and a second seal, and wherein the first section and the second section are configured to define a first passageway to drain the portion of the fluid from the first volume, wherein the portion of the fluid that flows into the first volume further weeps past the second seal and into a second volume defined between the second seal, the first section, the second section and a third seal, and wherein the third seal is configured to expand and contract in response to temperature to regulate the weep to a second passageway to drain the portion of the fluid from the second volume.
