Went for a lovely drive in the sunshine yesterday but ended with oil coming out the top of the steering column.
I have recently rebuilt the box with new seals etc and made it oil tight so thought I would use D140 oil.
Only filled to the level of the filler so thought that was not excessive. The oil seems to wick up the inner column.
Is the type of oil or the level to blame?
Many thanks.
Adrian.
