So today as I was turning a rather large piece of inconel I noticed my DMC DL-30 CNC Lathe started making the noise the chuck makes when clamping. I thought it was the coolant maybe getting low because that pump has the same sound sometimes. Well low and behold I go check the coolant level to make sure its not low and notice Coolant pouring out of the back of my machine. I stopped the machine immediately and even with the coolant pump no longer running, the coolant was still pouring out of the back of the machine. And I just happened to look at my hydraulic fluid sight glass and its all coolant.
There is no visible leaks other than the aforementioned one. But no where else on the machine!
The only place I can think of that has both hydraulic fluid and coolant is the turret. Anything else I should be looking for?
