Post Pressure Lubricator Question
I have the Alemite Pressure Lubricator on my Long Tail. Recently it has been oozing grease from under the cap while I am running. What do ya'll think is causing this?

I currently have the "lightest" spring in the lubricator. Could this be the problem?

The seal that pushes the grease down in to the shaft housing is bad. Just replace the whole thing, no grease should be between the cap and the seal.

There is a seal around the plunger in the lubricator.

^x2. If you fill it all the way to the top, when the grease in the shaft heats up it either gonna blow through the bushing seals or take a dump in the lubricator.
