I don't have your model Clausing. I have a 6903.

Is it leaking from your lead screw output? Do you have a parts manual
showing a depiction
of your gearbox? If so, draw a line across the full level point and anything
under oil
that exits the case is a suspect.

clausing_lathe_and_mill on yahoo groups might be your best place to look.
Webb is a
wealth of information, he used to work for a dealer that actually fixed
machinery, iirc.
