Oil leakage in Z-axis

[lblade]

Hello All!
Recently I bought a nice Takisawa MAC V1E drill/tap CNC station.
Because it is too high to get in in my workshop in one piece, I had to strip it (see the pictures).

After a few days red oil leaked out of a part in the Z-axis.
Does anybody know where this oil belongs?
I tought that only grease was used in the bearings and spindles......

Thanks in advance!
Leo


ps. is it possible to change the name of this forum to 'Japanese Mills'?

Looks like old coolant. And no, they can't change the name. Mori Seiki is one of the largest and best builders in the world, it needs its own forum. Just post in general next time.
