A few months ago I got a new 8" Chinese rotary table. Since then I've only used it a couple of times. Yesterday I mounted it vertically on the mill and while using it I discovered it was leaking oil around the dial and the table top. At first I thought it was because I transported it home with the dial resting on the floor of the truck and maybe I bent something but last night I thought maybe it's being caused by the oil I used. Maybe it's attacking some brass inside the table. I can't recall what oil I used but it might have been engine oil.
Should I dump this oil and put in some hydraulic oil or use something else?
If I take the table apart will there be obvious signs if the brass is being attacked?
