Yes mine was leaking on the day, but it was set a little high and I forgot to turn it down, plus the fact I run mine on used engine oil which is a little thinner (I did apology’s ).

My current Scottoiler is on it's fifth bike and apart from a bit of new tubing cost me £40, it must have covered at least half a million miles so far, the avarage chain life is somewhere between 40-48,000 miles (best 54,074) which is at least two sets of Chain & sprockets for free, do the maths you save about £100 a time (C&S), The time getting them changed, plus chain lube & the bother of applying it, all for 3 minutes each week filling the res (that's about a thousand miles or so).

Buy Hey some people like to spend valueable riding time playing with their bike instead.

Cheers Mark.
