There has been a lot of good advise regarding refilling the rack and ensuri=

rack may be getting overfilled.
Perhaps another point that could be part of this discussion is why the rack=
needs to have fluid added. Leaking boots are an obvious point but the rack=
end caps where they go over the tube are another source. I recall the Shop=
Notes... (where are mine???) had a discussion about that.As I stated in a =
previous post my rack was gone thru and 20 years later with no use there is=
an accumulation of gear oil on the crossmember. It isn't where you can see=
it dripping but it must leak in the smallest amount.?? Has anyone come up =
