Where is your dripper()? Is it hard to move?

OOo, Surrey Quays, i hurtle through your manor twice a day

Oil will build up over time in certain areas when using a Scotoiler unless you are a clean freak. It could also mean that the flow is turned up too high. 2-3 drips a minute is more than adequate because as the vaccum increases, so does the flow rate when riding etc.
