My VS-13 Clausing lathe is leaking oil out of the gearbox down into the
chip tray, and it's doing it pretty quickly. Oil level goes from center
of the sight glass down to not being seen in less than three days (~ 1/2
pint of oil). It's not readily apparent to me where the leak is
originating from even though i've cleaned it, looked for weeping, oil
trail, etc.

Any thoughts on the most popular spots for gearbox leaks with these
characteristics?

Thanks!

Usually when there are no responses, it's because no one knows any
more than you do. Have you contacted Clausing?
