Turret coolant seal
I would like to ask You guys master Mazakers opinion on a coolant leak on my QT15.
The leak come from behind the turret at the point were the line in the casting align with turret selected tool.... pretty much the point, i think , were the coolant leave the casting to enter the turret. In front of My face so to speak.
I’ve never been in the turret so far, and lacking an exploded view of it , i imagine some sort of seal been there, maybe spring loaded to release as the turret is unlocked and seal back as the selected tool is in place.
There is still plenty of coolant going to the tool, but, the thing is annoying at this point, and i would like to take care of it before the situation worsen .
How hard is going to be to gain access to the back part of the rotating turret and correct this problem.
Thank You in advance
