transformer leaking?

[ssheipel]

Roger, hi.

I've been running a Stream 6000 on a controller for about 10 months now.

This morning I noticed a bead of white "grease" along the seam (of what would be the "lid" if it sat flat on a horizontal surface) of the transformer -- the thing shaped like a hockey puck. I have it hanging on a vertical surface and the bead is on the lower side of the top of the puck. The bead is the consistency of grease and looks quite like a thin bead of fresh silicone caulking.

Is the transformer leaking? Should I shut the pump down?

Thanks,

Steve

If this continues let me know. If it is just a one or two drop thing I wouldn't worry about it. All that is the trnsformer is a couple temp sensors and the copper winding and the plastic coating, occasionally a portion of the plastic doesn't get mixed with enough hardener and runs. If it is just a bit it isn't a problem but if more comes out we need to exchange it.

Thanks Roger. I'll keep an eye on it.
