Every farm tractor engine that I have worked on will have some dampness there but drips indicate something more severe. Does the drip smell like gear oil or does it have the color and consistency of engine oil? This is a similar situation to coolant leakage through the weep hole of a water pump. If you see leakage, the issue is not the weep hole.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Alex Thomson<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Triumphs [mailto:triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>dave<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, September 27, 2018 2:18 PM<br><b>To:</b> triumphs@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [TR] TR4 oil leak<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I can see oil is coming out here.
