Harrison 140 headstock

[Mr happy]

Hi over a period of time on my Harrison 140 metric lathe there is headstock oil very slowly
Leaking out onto the lathe can only assume it’s coming from the headstock bolts suggest best way to fix problem thanks

It might be the gasket on the top around the access plate to the headstock , undo the bolts take it off and have a look at the condition , mine is in a sorry state and the access plate was bent

Thank you for your answer fortunately mine is ok seems still have slight oil leak

On mine it leaks from the gear change, the headstock bolts and the spindle, you have to just keep topping the thing up.
