Reply to "2019 VL Challengers Pooling Smoke Fluid"

Ok this is where I’m at on this. I really wanted to blame the funnel or something inside but after resealing everything with high temp RTV and one refill it still pools up. What I did discover is it does seam that the funnel does not sit very level on the unit (see pictures) plus with what I’ve seen currently is it seams as if you don’t get ALL of the fluid in the unit it’ll come up the dynamo and hug a ring on the boiler jacketing to the walkway. So I believe what Mr. Rowlen mentioned a while back about tiling the locomotive forward after fill is your best option if this is a issue for you. I will say that this time around it did seam to be not as big of a pool. As other than a inconvenient mess with the information mentioned earlier I should technically be at no risk for a short.
