    Oil leak inside column of VM-2

    There is so much oil on the spindle motor inside column VM-2, I can not find where it come from - oil around Tool Reliese Piston, on the motor and fan. Air line has not additional oil filter, but it seems free of oil. Is it comes from spindle lubrication system? Machine is working since 2011.

    Bad picture, but if that machine made a lot of mist, that is perfectly normal. My '07 looks the same way, just more dirty.
