Swap the two felts and see whether or not the rear cup empties faster.

Robert,
I think it is all coming out of the front dust cover.? Which makes sense because the riding bearing surface is angled towards the chuck so you would expect it to follow the bearing and bearing surface.
I'm wondering if I had a burr on the dust cover when I reinstalled it and it has a little gap for the oil to flow through.
it's weird that without the felt, the oil runs out immediately but with the felt it runs out 3x slower than the rear oil cup with felt.?
