I just bought a 1986 Mori Seiki MV55 VMC. It runs great but there is a oil mist almost like smoke coming out from under the tool changer cylinder. It is also coming out from under the front cover where a brass elbow vent is located too. Wondering if anybody has seen this happen before? And is there a way to correct it? I have the pressure intensifier and the drawbar cylinder taken off and I'm down to the top of the gearbox. I'm assuming the spindle is all below the gearbox? And the top of the gearbox is not tied into the spindle? I have some manuals for the machine and they show the spindle-gearbox assembly but I see no seal up above the gears in the parts manual. Having trouble with the top gearbox nut too, I put spanner wrenches on it and it didn't move at all. I have taken the set screws loose and there's copper pushers under them to not damage the threads that might be seizing it up? It's been a while since I've torn apart anything this precision.
