Rotary Table Leaking

I used the RT again today. Sure glad it isn't any bigger because loading that thing on the mill and taking it off is not something I want to do very often and yet here I am doing this several times in the last 2 days. But it sure is nice having one.

When I checked the fluid level sight glass it looked to be empty so I tried adding some oil and it took forever to drain in. In fact it didn't. So I tilted the RT to see if that would help and then noticed there was still quite a bit of oil showing in the sight glass when tilted. So I just put it on the mill with the oil still sitting in the fill cup and dealt with the all the oil running out of the cup.
