I've had my lathe (V10P) for about 3 months.
In getting it up and going I noted that the
feed gear box was empty of lubricant.
I filled it with some 140wt lube.
Now every time I visit my lathe I note
a puddle of lube.....
There does not appear to be any evidence of
cracks but I think that it is leaking where
a shaft penetrates. Are there seals on the
shafts?? Or did I over fill?
Has anybody else had (and solved) such
problems?

How much oil did you put in the gearbox?, mine is at a level where the
bottom two gears are about a 1/4 imersed in oil, and I dont remember
the oil being 140wt either, I seem to remember that I followed some
advice on the old Super 11 forum.
I contacted EMCO last week to ask for any info they might be able to
supply on any of the lathes covered by our group, no answer yet!
