While cleaning up this new-to-me Hardinge, I noticed every time I'd come back in the morning, there'd be oil drips in the same place on the headstock. Upon further inspection, there are a few small cracks in the headstock that slowly weep over time. It's very slow, but it gave me pause so I thought I'd ask the hive-mind if I should prioritize getting those repaired. My guts says to just keep it oiled up, and it shouldn't matter too much. Just don't want a crack-in-the-windshield situation where you're fine until suddenly you're not.
Thanks for taking a look.
