Re: Diff Oil escaping vent tube
 

It has been a few days since a leak, but it did it again tonight. The
pumpkin was barely warm, just a little warmer than the cold ground and not
nearly hot enough to make me thing that something was boiling inside. The
tubes were cold all the way across. Any more ideas?

Re: Diff Oil escaping vent tube
 

I would be opening the fill plug to see what the fluid level is inside.
Maybe it was topped up when tilted on an angle so there is too much in
there? Checking it would sure tell you if it somehow got water and if
it is just too full, it needs lowering anyway.
