Leaky K Line smoke units in GS6 and GS4

Trainman87OGR Forum Member

I am curious if anyone has any input on why I find smoke fluid residue in the boiler and trucks? I have 2 Kline TCA GS4’s; both have either had problems with leaky smoke units or I am fixating for no reason. I am wise about how much fluid I add and when I add it. I rarely ever exceed the half way point of the Lionel premium 1mL dropper. Both units puff harder than ever, do I really have a problem here? I took apart the smoke unit in one of my shelf Kline WP GS-6s and figured these older units are likely to leak a little bit. Man…. Smoke units never fail to worry me.
