Finally pulled the gearbox cover plate on my lathe so I could fix the leaking around the gearbox oil sight glass. To my surprise, it's a plastic sight glass that is held in only through an O-ring. Not sure how I want to take care of it, whether tapping for a threaded sight glass using a NPT unit or whatnot. I'm just sure that replacing the O-ring will lead to future leaking in a few years.
