We own 4 of these machines and have had them for several years. We have time now to do a deep P.M. and cleaning on them. We have found on all 4 machines the grease hose that runs on the back side of the table and flexes with every X axis move is cracked and leaking grease. It is under a sheet metal cover on the back side of the table. You might want to check your machine out. Also there is a short stroke hydraulic cylinder on top of the spindle covered with a sheet metal cover. It activities the draw bar to clamp the tools. We found two with blown seals leaking fluid. Both of these are not real difficult to fix. You might want to check these two areas out on your machine.
