Overturned Trailer

[Tmracing]

Hi guys, long time looker first time poster.

 

Flipped the Nokka on its side today in the wood. Got her upright again only to notice oil running down the side of the base of the kingpost on the side it flipped. I can't figure out where it came from; would anybody be able to give some insight?

Cheers

Probably from the centre of the slew gear which on some trailers is full of gear oil to lubricate the slide.

Post a picture up if you can nd might have a better idea.

I expect you've had some gear oil come out of the slew pots. Or you've damaged a hydraulic pipe on the end of a slew pot.

 

If it stinks a bit like onions or similar then its gear oil.

Slew seals passing oil into kingpost?
