Andrew,
What I do now is fill the trunnion housings with grease using a modern zerk
& gun (and yes, use bushings with holes) prior to attatching the oil lines.
Todays grease does not turn solid and doesn't leak as badly as 140wt oil.
I use black silicone to seal the cap on the front trunnion housings. tommm
