[Mg-t] TD Steering Rack

The secret is a length of black carpet under the car.

Hi Bob:

I once tried filling the rack with gear oil and it dripped out the zerk
fitting for a week.

(Sorry, it was just marking territory.  But that territory had been
previously claimed by my wife!)

Perhaps I overfilled it?

Or need a new zerk fitting?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Mark

Hi Mark,
The case is reasonable sealed and will usually hold the heavy gear oil
OK.
Gear oil will ooze out of the case joint if you overfill. You could put
a
rubber band or some sort of gasket around the case to slow down any
leaks.
But, hey, its an MG aned supposed to leak.

 How do you keep the oil from leaking out?
