The top gearbox that drives the hopper on a 13” mkx auger looks like it is leaking from the cover on the side opposite the shaft that goes to the hopper. It isn’t leaking enough to make a puddle in the bottom. I couldn’t turn it around but it seemed like the gears had normal backlash. Does the cover need some silicone, or is this a bigger problem?
