Yes, I mean the actual tub is leaking at the front. It's a slow leak right now (dripping slowly). I noticed something was up when I started to see oil spots under the PT...at first I thought it was just excess lubricant from spraying PTFE. But that didn't make sense since I always do that outside.
Then yesterday, I was getting ready to do a cleanup on the PT (it's been very dry and dusty here) and I noticed there was oil dripping off one of the corners of the tub. My theory (at the moment) is that one of the seams of the tub must have been faulty and that maybe the paint has been holding things tight until now. I can't determine the exact source yet.
Is this crazy or what? I'm at 45hrs. Light residential use. No accidents. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Anyhow, I figure this is the first time this particular issue has come up. This stuff is too thick for a MiG isn't it?
I'll try and post a photo later today. I've put cardboard under the PT just to confirm the source as at first I had theorized it could be a leaking cylinder seal....but it would have been quite a leak to cause fluid to spray onto the underside of the tub! On the flip side, that would have been an easier fix.
